With a long list of repairs and renovations needed before tenants can move back in, it will be a long road for the Coulson Building, but a challenge they’re ready to meet

After a May 24 fire that took almost eight hours to extinguish, the Coulson Building on Durham Street still stands empty, with a long road ahead before it can be re-occupied.

Over the course of the day, firefighters cycled in and out of battling the blaze. Usually, there are 24 firefighters on shift. Extinguishing this fire took the work of 57 firefighters. The smell of smoke was powerful, even coming from the outside that at the time was under an air quality warning from the forest fires. Sudbury.com wore an N-95 at all times and it still permeated.

Stewart was able to hire master electricians to sort out what they could, and add two, and only two outlets to the building so the owners could purchase plug-in safety lights. All this just so even one person could enter the building. This is what is required for one step, the ESA approval.
