The Franklin Ave homes that were involved in a fire which destroyed one townhouse and severely damaged six others, on Jan 04, 2008 remain fire damaged, and unrepaired today.
This row of houses have no fire walls, or short fire walls that don’t go higher than the second floor. When a fire reaches the attic it can then burns across the rooflines and drops down into adjacent units.
Yet why for over a year must the homes sit in the fire damaged state?
