RICE TOWNSHIP, LUZERNE COUNTY (WBRE/WYOU) — A feel-good, hometown event is still ongoing in our area as the community comes together to help one of their own.

After a devastating fire at Adelina's Restaurant and Pizzeria in Mountain Top last month, friends, neighbors, and businesses all rallied to support the owners and staff while they work to rebuild.

It was a heartbreaking loss last month when Adelina's went up in flames.

A fire started in the kitchen around 4:00 a.m. while bread was being prepared. Within 45 minutes, the entire building was fully engulfed.
