Fire Destroys Beer Distributor in Ringtown

A fire destroyed a Beer Distributor in Ringtown on Thursday.


Around 3:15pm, emergency personnel were dispatched to 422 West Main Street, Ringtown, Valley Beverage, for a working commercial fire.

As crews arrived they found the building heavily engulfed in flames.

The fire was quickly upgraded to a 2nd, and 3rd alarm, as well as a tanker task force was alerted.  This prompted responses from over two dozen fire companies from Schuylkill, Columbia, Luzerne, and Northumberland Counties.

It took crews over an hour to get the fire under control, but left the building completely destroyed.

The fire is under investigation by a State Police Fire Marshal but the fire is not being called suspicious.

No injuries were reported.
