Crews respond to store electric issue

No injuries were reported after firefighters were called early Monday morning to Giant Food Store in Mahoning Township.

Mahoning Valley fire Chief Mark Ebbert said firefighters were dispatched around 4:30 a.m. to the store at 1241 Blakeslee Blvd. Dr. E at the Carbon Plaza Mall.

“It was a heat trace wire that had shorted out around the freezer door,” Ebbert said. “Their maintenance contractor was on-site and wanted to make sure there was no fire in the wall of the freezer.”

Ebbert said firefighters were on the scene for about a half-hour.

He said also assisting at the scene were Mahoning Valley Ambulance.
