"CARNEGIE, Pa. —

"SLIDESHOW: Photos of the fire
"No injuries were reported as firefighters doused the blaze.
'"It's all empty space up there, and if it gets up in the rafters, it can be trouble. But we stopped it short of that," Crafton Fire Chief Mike Crown said.
"The cause of the fire has not been determined yet." ~ WTAE, Pittsburg's Action News 4, June 22, 2012
