Bethel Fire & EMS and Stony Hill Volunteer Fire Company are on the scene of a commercial structure fire at Grosso’s Corner shopping center at 274 Greenwood Avenue, at the intersection of Griswold Avenue, across from Bethel Music Center and the now-closed Bethel Cinema.

Multiple businesses were damaged besides Bethel Upholstery, located at 270 Greenwood Avenue. Other businesses in the center are Tri-Star Graphics, Pretty Little Things Consignment, Stone Works Custom Marble and Granite, and The Willows Massage and Wellness Center.

We do not yet know to what extent the businesses were damaged but firefighters were tearing out parts of the roof and breaking out windows in order to contain the fire. This fire serves as a reminder to other businesses how seriously they should take fire safety. Having glass fire rated doors, a good evacuation plan, and working sprinklers can save your business, as well as others, from going up in smoke.
