UNION CITY, PA -- Firefighters from more than 20 departments battled a blaze on Dec. 3 that destroyed a former Ethan Allen furniture factory.

The fire caused major damage to the three-story, 210,000-square-foot facility that Ethan Allen stopped using for manufacturing in 2003.

According to GoErie.com, state police fire marshals said fire was accidentally ignited by workers who were using torches inside the three-story building.
