Fire Destroys Griffin Pie Bakery in Bluefield Blaze
A Sunday afternoon fire in Bluefield destroyed the Griffin Pie Company bakery on Bluefield Avenue, damaged a neighboring City Warehouse trucking concern, and lightly damaged several nearby buildings. About ten people were inside the brick building when the fire started at 3:30 p.m., all escaped safely. Firefighters, including units from Bluefield Virginia, fought the flames for nearly two hours, with the blaze mostly under control by 5:30 p.m. Damages were estimated at about 90,000 for the bakery and 50,000 for contents, with the warehouse suffering smoke and water damage and a small fire loss. The total cost was placed around 300,000 to 350,000, and the cause was attributed to cooking oils in drums fueling the fire. The west wall collapsed later in the event.
