Fire Destroys Old Tuna Mill


The old Tuna Mill off Mechanic Street has been destroyed by fire, and firemen are still on the scene of the blaze that was called in at about 10:30.

Bradford City, Bradford Township, Derrick City, Lewis Run, Lafayette and Corydon townships and Salamanca are among the fire companies on the scene.

Mechanic Street is closed from West Washington Street to Walker Avenue and traffic is tied up in the rest of that area. Please avoid traveling there if possible.

Flames from the blaze could be seen in the East Main Street area and ash from the fire was covering cars in the Grace Lutheran Church parking lot.

We'll have more information as it becomes available.

I haven't heard of any injuries. I'm not sure yet if he was there when it started.

Yes! Thank god mike was not there when it happened they were closed. Such a sad day, the mill was built in the late 1800's and produced amazing custom woodwork. Many only saw it for its blight but it was a large piece of history. With talented men who have worked there over the years practicing a very skilled trade producing finished product from lumber
