Postal Employees are still going through the damage
Most Packages Safe Following Post Office Fire
12.17.14 WHITEHALL, Ohio – A fire tore through a small Whitehall post office just before 7:30 p.m. on Tuesday night.
When firefighters arrived, smoke and flames billowed through the roof of the building on Robinwood Avenue.
The flames were so intense, firefighters had to get out and fight it defensively.
Investigators have ruled that it was an accidental electrical fire, but they aren’t sure what device caused it.
The United States Postal Service says a small number of packages that were on hold for customer pickup suffered “minor water and smoke damage.”
