ROANOKE, Va. – Cleanup is underway at the City Market building in downtown Roanoke after Friday’s fire. The fire chief says the fire started in the ventilation system above Fork in the Market.
Officer Ruiz was on patrol downtown when he noticed smoke coming from City Market. He rode to Fork in the Market to check out the scene.
