Days after a fire ravaged a vacant Salt Lake City building over the weekend, demolition crews were at work razing the site. Since then, fire officials have yet to determine the cause of the fire.
Demolition at the building at 220 South and 200 East began Wednesday, nearly 4 days after the overnight fire forced the evacuation of an apartment complex next door. The fire sparked late Friday, but reignited early Saturday and blanketed the downtown area with smoke.
“It’s been a nightmare, to be honest,” said Tim Pulley. “You got trash all over the ground, you got metal plates in the ground. It’s hard to get around for disabled people like me.”
