Reports Of A Fire At Roots Market In Clarksville

Roots Markets in Clarksville apparently had a small fire and will be closed until Wednesday, according to the company's Facebook page.

Not a lot of details.  It was early Sunday, according to gussika.  David Bittner tweeted about an electrical fire in a light fixture with smoke and water damage.  I will update as I hear more.

So many possible jokes about smoked cheeses.  But a fire is tough for any business, and I hope that the Roots folks can get themselves back open as soon as possible.

If you hear anything about when Roots will be closed or open, please comment below and/or email me.  I would love to publicize their situation.  If you're interested in fire departments, check out Doug Walton's unofficial Howard County fire blog or the Statter911 national blog.

I didn't realize they were closed and stopped by today to pick up a few items. They have a sign up that they will re-open on Thursday.

They had a lot of repair trucks there and the doors were open. They had no electricity and it looked kind of a mess for a fire that was supposed to be small.
