Last week, Deputy Fire Chief Lawrence Cardinale said the building has been empty for at least a year. They were worried about the chemicals left behind and how that could impact the air quality for firefighters and the neighborhood.
A hazardous materials team was brought in to monitor the air quality as a precaution. Cardinale said it appeared to be fine.
