Summary

Official/government reporting indicates a five-alarm fire damaged a multi-story vacant former tannery facility at N. 32nd Street and W. Hampton Avenue, leaving W. Hampton Avenue and part of N. 32nd Street closed while fire personnel remained on scene and demolition and air-quality monitoring were arranged. This item is logged as a major fire and disruption record even though ignition preceded the window because official closure and demolition updates occurred during the reporting cycle.
