Dickson City hospital remains closed after massive fire with fire cause still unknown

A day after a fire destroyed its orthopedics institute, Lehigh Valley Hospital-Dickson City remained closed Thursday and its future uncertain.

The fire forced more than 70 people to evacuate, with patients moved to other hospitals.
