DeKalb County liquor store fire investigation underway

Investigators are looking into the cause of a fire that destroyed a liquor store in DeKalb County early Monday. The fire also threatened a nearby convenience store and gas station but was contained before causing total loss there. Firefighters responded around 10:30 p.m. on Sunday. Strong winds complicated their efforts, allowing the flames to spread quickly. Fortunately, no injuries were reported as both businesses were closed at the time. The liquor store suffered complete destruction, while the nearby store sustained damage but remains intact. Business owners returned Monday to find significant destruction, with little left to salvage.
