Historic rooming house demolished after devastating fire

An beginning December fire destroyed a rooming house in Recent Bedford, Massachusetts that had been built in 1843. An engineering firm surveyed the house as well as found that it was structurally unsound, which made it a community safety issue. The fire as well as water damage was so extensive that the property owner said it will be virtually impossible to bring up to code, so it is going to be demolished by a intimate contractor. Asbestos, heating oil as well as other hazardous materials were removed from the structure in mid-December.

The fire appeared to be caused by human factors, but investigators were still unsure whether it was accidental or intentional. Two dogs died in the fire, as well as one firefighter was treated for smoke inhalation.
