Fire damages Amish furniture workshop in Palatine

December 29, 2021

PALATINE — An Amish furniture workshop was badly damaged by a Tuesday night fire, but not before workers were able to remove much of their craftwork by hand, officials said.

The structure fire at 1002 Route 67 was called in by a passerby around 4 p.m. on Tuesday, according to Wayne Ropeter Jr., first assistant for the Ephratah Volunteer Fire Department.

“ Before you came to speak, I mistakenly assumed that the Amish had a good sense of the Bible and how important it is to be saved. Because of my assumption, I didn’t worry about them and did not include them in my prayers. I didn’t think I needed to. Now, I know differently. Thank you for opening my eyes to their plight. I will be praying for you and your family and your mission. ” - Ravenna, OH
