According to the Olympian, it looks like the fire that started with faulty wiring at the Rainier Market at about 11:20 PM, destroyed the whole building. It's going to be a total loss. This is sad news. Sarb and Jesse have worked very hard at the market. It was starting to take off. Our hearts go out to them and their family.

Overnight posts to page thanks to Aaron MacLean "Commercial structure fire. Rainier Market, Rainier. Active fire with heavy smoke and explosions heard inside building. Threat to gas pumps. Defensive strategy." This came to our page around 11:30 last night.
Good news!! We've been told that the Rainier Market is insured and they are planning to rebuild and reopen the store.
ReplyDeleteThere have been a couple of other fires in Rainier, recently. Please be careful if you BBQ or have a campfire. It's been a hot, dry summer. Please be safe!
