Demolition has begun on an apartment complex deemed a “total loss” after a massive fire earlier this week.
More than 100 firefighters responded to the massive inferno at the 310 @ NULU apartment complex on Monday. The blaze caused the interior of the building to collapse.
Louisville Fire officials said no one was injured, however all 64 residents were displaced. Some of those residents were University of Louisville students.
On Friday, giant excavators could be seen tearing down the building’s exterior walls.
Emergency crews had been watching the structure for days to ensure the exterior walls of the building would not collapse, even evacuating two nearby buildings.
The cause of the fire remains under investigation. Louisville Fire Department Chief Brian O’Neill said it would difficult to determine a cause as investigators can’t enter the building due to safety concerns.
Arson investigators are only able to use drone footage and information from crews’ initial arrival on scene.
It is unclear how long it will take for crews to completely demolish the building.
