Main Street in Delta was reopened yesterday according to Delta City Manager Elyse Casselberry in a press release. Third Street remains closed between Meeker and Main Street until further notice.
Highway 50 - Delta’s Main Street was closed due to an active fire that destroyed a business in downtown Delta on Wednesday. According to information released from the City of Delta, Delta County Communications received a 911 call at about 4:28 PM regarding a structure fire in the 200 block of Main Street.
The Delta Police Department and Delta County Sheriff’s Deputies responded and
evacuated Delta Cleaners as well as the rest of the 200 Block of Main Street.
Law Enforcement set a safety perimeter around the fire as Delta County Firefighters
worked to extinguish the blaze. The structure was a total loss but firefighters were able
to stop the fire from spreading to surrounding buildings.
The Delta Police Department Investigators along with the Delta County Fire Protection
District is continuing to investigate the cause of the fire. One party on scene sustained non-life threatening injuries.
The City will provide an update when the street reopens. Casselberry says the immediate health safety risks have been addressed and the city is now looking for ways to support the business owner and adjacent property owners.
