Future of business still uncertain

Posted

HONESDALE, PA — The future of the Honesdale business George Kinsman Incorporated, which sold agricultural equipment and small engines, remains uncertain. The building that housed the business on Main Street was badly damaged by fire the night of February 24, and a large section of the roof collapsed.

The owner did have insurance, but said after the fire he was not certain of his next move.

The fire broke out just before 10 p.m., and firefighters from four counties battled the blaze for two hours before bringing it under control. They were able to contain the blaze and prevent it from spreading to adjacent buildings.

Investigators said the cause of the fire was not suspicious, but they were not certain exactly what sparked the blaze. Officials believe it may have broken out on the second floor of the building.
