Piggots Cash and Carry destroyed in fire

The old Piggots Cash and Carry building in Medart was destroyed in a fire on Tuesday.

The Wakulla County Sheriff’s office said they were called to the scene at around 6:40 PM after a call from a concerned citizen.

Wakulla County Firefighters and several volunteer fire departments responded to the scene and found the building fully engulfed in flames.

The fire required the closing of Highway 98 for almost 4 hours because of the number of emergency vehicles on scene and downed power lines.

The building was empty and had not been used for hardware purposes for many years.

There were no injuries and the building was a total loss.

The State Fire Marshall is investigating the cause of the fire.
