A shop owner in Eagle Hall is devastated after a Sunday afternoon fire engulfed one of the businesses on his property and caused significant damage to two others.

The fire, which started shortly after 3 p.m., apparently began at an eatery at the back of the site near the busy junction. People nearby quickly responded with hoses and buckets to help contain the blaze until firefighters arrived and brought it under control.

Property owner Frank Daley said he is uncertain about how to move forward after the site that was once his family’s shop for decades, almost went up in flames.
