SHENANDOAH – Around 9:15pm, Shenandoah firefighters were dispatched to the area of 100 East Lloyd Street in the borough for reports of a structure fire.

Police Officers quickly reported a working fire, and crews arrived to find fire in an abandoned structure at 24 East Lloyd Street.

The building’s structural integrity posed a challenge for firefighters, although the flames were brought under control shortly after their arrival.

The fire was marked under control at 10:37pm, and fire crews were still on scene cleaning up at the time of publication.

​Fire crews from all five Shenandoah fire companies, as well as Mahanoy City’s West End, Shenandoah Ambulance, and Shenandoah Police were on scene.
