WEST SUNBURY — Despite the efforts of multiple fire departments, Thompson’s Country Market collapsed during a fire Christmas morning. The structure at 136 Main St. was called a total loss and one person was injured.
Multiple calls came in shortly after 10 a.m. Sunday, Dec. 25, to county emergency dispatch with reports of smoke coming from the structure. One individual received facial burns, said Reid Campbell, chief of the West Sunbury Fire Department.
