Northbound Main Street was closed but re-opened as of 8 a.m. Saturday but Southbound Main Street between Alexander Avenue and Logan Avenue remained closed until crews could leave the scene.

The city advises residents to exercise caution in the area as the water used the fight the fire has since frozen and caused slippery conditions.

Crews will be monitoring conditions and applying sand and de-icing agents to roadways and sidewalks as required to improve traction.

The fire is under investigation.
