A
building set to be torn down caught fire in Pleasantville
early this morning.
Fire
officials say they got the call around 4:30 a.m.
on Vanderbilt Avenue and Manville Road in the heart of downtown Pleasantville.
The
owner tells News 12 the building was actually scheduled
for demolition tomorrow.
He said he plans to put a three-story building there with more
than 70 units.
First
responders say that, as far as they know, no one was inside, so
officials are not expecting any injuries.
Vanderbilt Avenue is closed at Manville Road, and Grant Street is closed at Depew Street - that’s the
entrance to the Saw Mill Parkway.
