Monroeville, PA - Just after 11:00 A.M. on May 16th, Monroeville fire units responded to the Overlook Lounge, located along James Street, for a reported structure fire.

C-11 arrived on-scene reporting a working fire. Engine 12 arrived and laid a supply line and crews began to attack the fire. Fire quickly consumed the building as additional fire departments were requested to assist at the scene.
