Possible Fire Briefly Blocks Main Street

Open Door Ministries employees called emergency services; no fire evident

Four local fire companies responded to an emergency call from the Open Door Ministries building at 348 Main Street, Royersford, this afternoon. 

Spring City, Royersford, Limerick and Linfield Fire companies all responded to the call. 

There was no visible smoke coming from the building. Patch spoke to an Open Door employee named Ashley who said there was a strong smell that she would "characterize as burning wire" earlier today. The odor went away, then came back about twenty minutes before the emergency call, Ashley said.

Firefighters were observed entering and exiting the building via the roof, but no fire-suppression measures were taken.
