The Middle Georgia city of Perry is still cleaning up after a weekend fire downtown. Business owners and volunteers are cleaning after a fire that officials say was probably ignited by lightning.
Perry Fire Chief Joel Gray says the blaze was more than likely sparked by lightning that struck the C. Synder Chapman Accounting Firm on Saturday during a storm. He says it took nearly three hours to bring the fire under control. No injuries have been reported yet.
Gray says the accounting firm was the only building to sustain fire damage. Smoke and water damage was reported next door at Carlton Interiors and smoke damage at Perry Book store. Store owners were taking stock of their losses on Sunday afternoon.
