A hardware store that's being demolished was the scene of a fire Thursday evening.
A small fire broke out here at Leinbach's Hardware in Mount Penn.
The store is one of three buildings being torn down to make way for a CVS pharmacy.
Fire officials say it's not clear what started the fire -- though they think it was an accident.
Crews were able to knock it out quickly.
