An abandoned Peekskill building is now charred and severely damaged
after a fire early on Tuesday.
Fire officials say former White Plains Linen
building on Highland Avenue broke out in flames around 1 a.m.
"Damage throughout. You can see behind us
the roof did collapse. Collapsed into the first floor. So, we're out here right
now, were going to get in touch with the building owner and get an evaluation
done,” says Jim Seymour,
Peekskill Fire Chief.
About 60 firefighters fought the flames for a few hours until they could get it
under control.
No injuries have
been reported, and the cause of the fire remains under
investigation.
