CONWAY — Investigators are blaming grease for a fire that destroyed a local meat seller’s business on East Conway Road Monday evening. Grease near the door of the smoking operation caught fire, fire officials told Darrell Robinson, owner of East Conway Beef and Pork, starting the blaze that burned his two buildings down. The fire started around 7:50 p.m. Monday, according to police dispatch logs. Firefighters were able to get the fire under control that evening, but see FIRE page 8
