Main Street was blocked off for a time on Thursday night as the Great Bend Fire Department responded to the Dance by Design dance school, where a buildup of ice apparently caused electrical wires to spark and start a small fire.Lee Ann Bashor, owner of the dance school, was teaching a class at the time, around 6:50 p.m.“The lights started flickering like in a horror movie,” Bashor said. She went to the back of the building to investigate and found sparking wires that were heavily coated in ice. There was actually a small fire on the electric water heater, and she blew it out.Everyone exited onto Main Street and in a few minutes the block was filled with fire trucks.
