First responders were called to a fire at Third and Verbeke streets in Harrisburg early Monday morning at historic Broad Street Market, burning a portion of the brick building in a massive two-alarm fire. According to Harrisburg Fire Chief Brian Enterline, the cause of the fire outbreak was due to a ceiling fan that was installed back in 2017 causing an electrical malfunction that lead to the incident.

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. Following a devastating fire this morning, the Broad Street Market’s executive director vows the market’s brick building will be rebuilt.
