Summersville Salvation Army store burns
SUMMERSVILLE, W.Va. -- Capt. Robert Barber stood outside of what remained of the Salvation Army thrift store and church in Summersville on Friday. An early morning blaze, although short-lived, completely destroyed everything inside and blackened out the storefront windows with a thick layer of ash.
For those connected to the store, this fire is eerily similar to an arson that occurred there almost a year ago. Police said they had investigated 22 other arsons committed around Nicholas County in February of 2012.
