Marquette, Iowa - March 17, 2014 - A little after midnight, a fire broke out engulfing several building in what could easily be called an inferno. And then there was nothing. Half a block of North street lay in ruins after an early morning inferno moved from building to building displacing families, destroying businesses. In addition to the hardware store, two houses, one on each side of the store, and a duplex building behind the store were a total loss.
