TURIN â Rubble from the recent Brick Block fire is attracting souvenir seekers and brick grabbers interested in making use of the materials still on the corner site.
Potential contaminants, however, pose a risk to those taking the bricks regardless of reason, causing the county to seek help from the Environmental Protection Agency to construct a site until further action can be planned to clean up the property.
Although part of the buildings were already in a state of disrepair and collapse, the historic Brick Block was destroyed in a massive blaze on April 1 that left only the brick faces of the buildings standing which heavy equipment was used to topple for safety purposes and to ensure the fire was completely out.
