Significant fire and water damage resulted in the partial collapse of the building, and crews were arranging for an emergency demolition to take down the rest of the structure.

Road closures were in place and residents are asked to use caution in the area, as water will create slippery conditions.

The building was previously damaged in a fire in October 2024.
