A dryer fire damaged a laundromat in the Park N Shop plaza on South Main Street on Saturday evening. The fire broke out around 6:15 p.m., and firefighters from Aetna Hose Hook and Ladder Company and other area fire departments arrived to find smoke coming from the building. Firefighters quickly extinguished the fire, which damaged the dryer and a nearby wall. Smoke also affected two adjoining units, Anytime Fitness and a vacant storefront. Firefighters used large fans to clear the smoke from the building. A customer of the laundromat said she had put her clothes in the dryer and stepped out to go to the Rite Aid located in the same shopping center. When she returned, the dryer and her clothes were on fire.
