Fall River, Massachusetts
An apartment building in Fall River is being torn down after a woman and her passenger were killed, multiple firefighters were hospitalized and dozens of people were displaced Tuesday when her car slammed into the complex and sparked a massive fire, officials said.
Fall River Fire Chief John Lynch announced Wednesday morning that crews would be demolishing the Four Winds Apartments on North Main Street after flames continued to reignite overnight.
“We’re going to be bringing in some excavators and we’re going to start tearing this building down,” he said. “The only way we’re going to be able to put this out is to tear it out and start getting at the voids because there’s still a lot of fire, but we can’t reach it from the outside with the water.”
Video from Sky7 HD showed smoke still billowing from the rubble as demolition crews tore the building to the ground.
