A Brown County grocery store will be closed for next few weeks after a small fire.

According to Dorothy’s Market in Mt. Sterling, a small electrical fire occurred in one of their chest freezers last Wednesday. No injuries have been reported. No estimate on cost of damages has been given. The fire was contained quickly by local firefighters and damage was mostly limited to smoke and soot.
