2 fires in the market basket in Gloucester, mass. Examined

The fires were depressed until 9 p.m., the authorities said.

“The fact that you are in two very separate places in this building obviously makes us a little worried and obviously suspicious,” said Eric Smith, fire chief of Gloucester. “That's why the investigators are here.”

The business is open after the existence of inspections and was thoroughly disinfected and cleaned overnight, the authorities said. All affected packaging and food were rejected.

The examination of the fire continues.
