Cleanup is continuing at the scene of Monday’s fire in downtown Knoxville. Fire Chief Nick Bonstell tells KNIA/KRLS News that they spent much of Wednesday working with a contractor on removing overhead hazards and obstructions. He says the front of the building is currently a liability because of the brick structure’s structural integrity. Bonstell adds that they hope to open up the sidewalk and parking area in front of the building by the end of the week.
