A late afternoon fire Thursday tore into the popular Mama's Smokin BBQ on State Route 19 in Shongo. Firefighters from Willing, Alma, Scio, Whitesville, Andover, Wellsville and FAST Team 4 along with crews from Genesee, PA were all called to the scene. Multiple ambulances were also alerted. When the first fire chief arrived, he reported "heavy smoke" showing. Facebook reaction was prompt, noting that several dinner-time customers were evacuated when staffers announced the fire. The extent of damage is unclear as is the cause of the fire. No injuries were initially reported.
