This is the second fire in less than ten years. The Milton Flea market is WVa's largest flea market.

Wasn’t there another fire in the last 18 months near Charleston and I think also at a flew market?

Having been around a couple of flea market operations where stalls were built up for more permanent operations....I can vouch that they were all constructed as cheaply as possible, and I would question the electrical installation and safety of each one. No one comes in to inspect projects like this, and folks think it really doesn’t matter if you do a good job or a marginal job.

It’s all over. Every place like this I’ve been in seems on the sketchy side - construction looks so slapdash.

I’m a flea market junkie. You preaching to the choir on that subject brother, or is it sister? Well anyway, this flea market should have learned from the last fire. We never did know what started the last one but I will tell you we all have our best guess. That owner is lucky no one died.
