The fire began around 5:59 p.m. with crews cutting through a barred window to reach the source, and investigators noted a fuse box and flammable contents potentially escalating losses. Firefighters, in freezing temperatures, deployed two lines and evacuated Mercer Street traffic while four trucks and 12 firefighters worked to contain the fire.
