Fire personnel from Holbrook, Joseph City and Winslow were on hand to battle the blaze, were able to contain the fire to the one building and kept it from spreading to the apartments behind the structure or the vacant building to the east. According to HVFD Chief Alex Baker, there was no definitive cause. “There was no electricity or gas service to the building, and it is suspected that someone started a fire and either didn’t put it out or left it burning.”
