Tragedy Strikes Westmoreland County

The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, One of America's Great Newspapers, reports that a three-alarm fire destroyed a Westmoreland County beer distributor Sunday night. The blaze, at Latrobe 30 Beverage on U.S. Route 30 in Unity, started around 8 pm, according to Marguerite Volunteer Fire Department Chief Scot Graham.

Lured by the promise of free beer, firefighters from 18 companies came to the scene, but the blaze took nearly four hours to get under control, and there was no drinkable beer at the end of the evening.


In the old days, the beer could have been remarketed as Stroh's Fire-Brewed Beer.
