Lightning suspected as cause of fire

Wed, Sep 2, 1998 (10:58 a.m.)

The fire, at the Perfect Press Cleaners at 6850 Spring Mountain Road, may have started with a lightning strike to a swamp cooler, fire officials said.

A hazardous materials unit was called to the scene because of the chemicals that are present at dry cleaners. A fire investigation crew will be allowed into the building today to try to determine the cause of the fire.

The damage from the fire was mostly limited to the attic portion of the building and damages had not yet been calculated.
