Fire crews spent hours Thursday night fighting massive flames at a business in Pottsville. It started at a commercial building near the 600 block of East Market Street around 7 p.m. As fire crews were tackling this fire the Wire Tele-View corporation building collapsed, just missing the firefighters below. Wire Tele-View is a cable and internet provider. This building is just across the street from Lehigh Valley Hospital Schuylkill Campus on East Norwegian Street. A spokesperson from the health network tells Newswatch 16 that hospital operations have not been impacted by the fire. At least two nearby homes were damaged, and 10 people were displaced. There is no word on injuries or the cause of the fire.
