A third alarm fire struck two businesses located at 904 Tod Ave in the Mahoning Commons section of town. Super Stitches, a company which manufacturers theater curtains, and the Quality Seating Company, which manufactures restaurant chairs were heavily damaged. The fire brought every piece of apparatus in the city as well as an engine from Boardman and Canfield Fire's Air Cascade unit, a trailer with equipment to fill air bottles at an incident. Fire crews remained on the scene for 6 hours fighting the blaze, extinguishing hot spots and overhauling. The fire is believed to have started in a dumpster in the rear of the building. The building was equipped with sprinklers but it is unknown if they were working at the time of the fire. More information and photos are available at www.youngstownfire.com.
