5ds agoRoads surrounding an abandoned building in Port Chester
were closed Tuesday morning as officials investigated what caused it to go up
in flames.
Investigators were back on the scene with several cadaver dogs, as well as Acorn, the arson dog.
The fire was seen shooting
through the roof on Main Street Monday morning
and quickly spread to a neighboring building.
The fire also caused delays
on the nearby Metro-North New Haven line, but
service is now back to normal.
South Main Street between
Westchester Avenue and East William Street is closed as police check the
building for damage.
Officials say there are
plans for the whole block to be torn down and turned into a mixed-use
development.
They
hope it will give the downtown area a face life and draw in more commuters.
