I was shocked to see our local Shirley Family Dollar on Channel 12 News earlier. I immediately visited Newsday online to find out more.
It seems electrical sparks came from the ceiling, igniting a clothes at the Family Dollar in Shirley, New York. The fire started at about 7:45 AM on Monday April 26. Nobody was injured. Smoke spread through The Green shopping plaza on William Floyd Parkway. The local Mastic fire department was on the scene immediately.
I wonder if the Family Dollar will be closed for awhile? We love the Family Dollar and get everything from kitchen essentials to home decor to t-shirts there. I hope the Family Dollar and neighboring stores will be back in business right away.
