The fire is under investigation. Though a cause of the fire has not been released, San Juan County Fire Chief Gilbert Archuleta addressed the importance of cleaning chimneys before the winter season, not storing flammables in homes or businesses and changing out batteries in smoke and carbon monoxide detectors.
a GoFundMe has been started to help the building owners recover from the fire.
This is the second time this year a business in the heart of Silverton was destroyed, with two businesses catching fire in the Silverton Historic District in May.
