Clean up and investigation continues after downtown Utica fire

Businesses on the north end of downtown Utica continue to clean up after Sunday morning’s fire.

Skoog’s Pub, Second Look Antiques, Joy & Ed’s Supper Club and Flutterby Gourmet Popcorn remain closed after taking on smoke and water damage. The fire started in a home above the antiques store.

Utica Fire Chief Ben Brown says he doesn’t think the cause is suspicious. He’s awaiting an official report from the state fire marshal’s office.

58-year-old Roy Lance was pulled from to safety by firefighters and is being treated still at St. Anthony’s Medical Center in Rockford.
