Firefighters reported fire in the roof area making an offensive attack difficult. Some 75 firefighters from fifteen departments responded and one was reported to have been injured. Firefighters were able to prevent the flames from destroying the historic Imogene Theatre. The cause of the incident is still currently under investigation. Photo by Jessie Whittle.
