An Amish-owned furniture shop in West Mahoning, Indiana County, was destroyed Friday after a fire broke out around 10 a.m.
The fire is believed to have started after the store owner lit a wood-burning stove in the showroom, said Lt. Bill Sonni, of the Plumville Volunteer Fire Company.
The blaze burned out the floor of the all-wood building, and the oak furniture inside made it difficult to extinguish the fire, he said. There was also a danger of the roof collapsing.
No one was injured, and the workshop next door to the store, where the furniture was made, was not damaged, Sonni said.
