I thought it was one block west of the triangle. Now you guys are I place my bet on a comment from another A P list
"Beautiful buildings, especially the Belmont.
Sorry to see it go, I guess Asbury Partners won't have to demolish them
now there is so little left. They say lighting is so unpredictable
LOL"
Does anybody know when the fire was reported? My guess, even an
investigation will not produce any results. The building burned very fast,
a large part collapsed before 6:20 PM, turning 4 floors into 1 floor of
burning wood. Still could see flames at 9 PM from Sewall Ave. The building
was used by the fire department for training drills for the last few
months. At least the fire hydrants where working, protecting the near-by
buildings. Hundreds of spectators. Lots of fire trucks parked by the firehouse
and lots of firemen in the firehouse at 8:45 PM. Still lots of truck and men at
the fire at 10:00 PM, this very cold night. At 10:00 PM you can hear the
helicopter from one of the major news channels.
Now, the fact is that the asbestos, if any, will
not have to hand removed, it went up with the smoke. In a few
hours?
Last year, the hotel next to ANYBODY's had to have the
asbestos removed by hand, cost the Partners lots of money, many delays and D E P
inspections. Maybe a large fine. Between the hotel and theater, the
asbestos trailers where parked in front of ANYBODY'S on Cookman Ave, for months.
During the early summer, the Ambassador on 3rd had similar
asbestos problems delays during it's demolition. Something that someone
filled out the demolition reports wrong, stating there was no
asbestos in the huge commercial building. The police and state became
involved.
Wonder if the Press will have time to do an investigative report?
