Ceiling fan malfunction caused Broad Street Market fire, officials say

The fire, which was visible from the West Shore, was confined to the brick section of the market, with the separate, much smaller stone building untouched.

The governor thanked the firefighters for their work battling the fire, explaining the government now needs to pull together following their example. He said Pennsylvania Emergency Management Agency is already coordinating with the Small Business Administration to help vendors get the support they need.

Mayor Williams said overnight the heart of the community was taken as fire tore through the market’s brick building and taking livelihoods. “It’s a hub, it’s essentially a place where people come,” George said. “Basically, it’s like a community.”
