DERBY — Fred’s Plumbing and Heating in Derby had its offices struck by lightning during the thunderstorms Wednesday afternoon, causing the building to go up in flames.
There was a tower on the building that fell during the blaze, which almost hit a Newport City firetruck.
Fire crews from the surrounding areas, including Stanstead, Quebec, were called onto the scene.
