by Jennifer Moore - The Hamilton Spectator from on (#5VQ07)
Hamilton fire crews responded to a major blaze on Hamilton's east Mountain Tuesday night.
Emergency crews were called to 178 Nebo Rd., between Rymal Road and Stone Church Road, just before 10 p.m. for a structure fire. That's the address for Harper's Market, which was formerly Scoly's Hometown Market.
The fire was quickly upgraded to a multiple alarm. The Hamilton Fire Department tweeted at 10:58 p.m. that the fire had become a defensive operation" and that crews had been removed from the building.
Smoke could be seen as far away as downtown Hamilton.
More to come.
