How sunlight started a fire inside a Syracuse liquor store: The science behind it all

Syracuse, N.Y. — A strange fire at a Syracuse liquor store recently had firefighters and store’s owners scratching their heads as to how a display case in the middle of the store caught fire.

On Feb. 5, the fire broke out at Geddes Liquor and Wine at 1021 W. Genesee St. The store suffered no structural damage, and no one was inside of the store at the time the fire started.
