A popular bar in Fayette County went up in flames overnight, lighting up the night sky. Fox's Tavern on West Wine Street in Connellsville caught fire, and crews got to the scene just before 3 a.m. on Thursday morning.
"Waking up to see a staple in our community gone in a fire is devastating news," Connellsville Mayor Greg Lincoln posted to Facebook. "Please keep the Fox family in your thoughts and prayers, and thank you to all the first responders who responded to battle the fire this morning."
According to the mayor's Facebook page, there were no injuries in the overnight fire.
Several companies were needed, including the South Connellsville Volunteer Fire Company, New Haven Hose Company, and departments from Morell, Monarch, DLV, Dawson, and Everson.
