Monday

morning commuters on Ga. Highway 54 at Robinson

Road in Peachtree City got an unexpected

fireworks show, as flames shot from the roof of

the Village Store on the southwest corner of that

intersection.

The

Peachtree City Fire Department was notified at

about 8 a.m., according to Capt. Ed Eiswerth. A

number of people called 911 about the blaze, he

said.

Two

engine trucks responded, along with a ladder

truck and rescue and medic units, to the scene

and found an extensive fire in the

"attic," between the roof and the

ceiling of the store.

Firefighters

extinguished the blaze without incident and no

one was hurt. The store was open at the time of

the fire.

Extensive

damage to the building will require electrical

and other repairs, Eiswerth said, meaning the

store will be closed for an undetermined period

of time.
