Nearby: Bethel Park Business Catches on Fire

Broughton Road is closed at Library Road.

Fire crews are investigating what caused a fire in a business building located at the corner of Broughton and Library roads in Bethel Park.

The fire started likely in the basement of the building shortly at 8 a.m. Saturday, according to Yoga Innovations owner Claire Baer. Her staff member called 911 when smoke was spotted billowing above the U.S. Film Crew storefront.

Cynthia Fickley owns a tax preparation business in the building that caught fire. She said the fire started in an addition put onto the building located behind her business. The landlord lives in an apartment above U.S. Film Crew and was out of town for the weekend.
