Two businesses in downtown Orange City were gutted by fire Sunday afternoon. The building on Central Avenue and First Street held Hannah’s Hallmark and a studio of Curves For Women.

The fire department was called out around 5:30 P.M. Sunday. Firefighters from Orange City and departments from six other neighboring cities worked to get the blaze under control and to keep the fire from spreading to other businesses. The building is apparently a total loss but more details about the fire are expected to be released later today.
