Fire ravages Bloomington businesses

·

A fire Wednesday afternoon gutted the Monroe County Pizza Department, 3890 W. Third St., destroyed several adjacent businesses and heavily damaged others. The blaze, which started at the pizzeria, was only visible as smoke at first, though flames eventually leapt through the roof of the building and spread to other businesses in the strip mall, Bloomington City Fire Department Chief Jeff Barlow said. Firefighters received the call for the fire at about 3:40 p.m. and had it under control by about 4:40 p.m., Barlow said.
