Evidence confirms the initial belief that it began in the basement. Total damages are estimated at 500-thousand dollars. Because of contractual questions and structural issues, fire officials say for now, the remainder of the warehouse will not be demolished. Salem Avenue has re-opened to drivers. Norfolk Avenue will remain closed until all the debris is removed.
