There is a fire today at 354 Pine Street in Pawtucket. A pretty serious one, too. We walked around thick snakes of water hose from surrounding fire plugs. (James was heard to remark, “they got hose from different area codes”). The whole building looks pretty lost, and all the windows have been blown out. Most of the remediation to the site has been done in the past few years, so at least there are no asbestos chunks flying around the city. I had heard that the owner has been trying to renovate the building, and familiar story, has had a hard time meeting fire codes. The fire sounds a bit suspicious to me, but we’ll see what turns up in the papers. Ah, Rhode Island…
