Fire destroys Porum business

The cause of a blaze which destroyed a Porum store is unknown, according to Fire Chief Trampas Tripp.

Porum firefighters were called to the Circle R store on the north side of Porum about 11:15 p.m. Thursday, March 2. When they arrived, flames could be seen coming out of the structure.

The building was built in 1977 and has had multiple owners since then, Tripp said. Current owner is Bill Raskey.

The store was closed at the time of the fire and there were no injuries. The building is a total loss.

The state fire marshal's office is assisting with the investigation of the cause of the blaze, Tripp said.
