Woodsmere Close townhouses to be demolished

An excavator stands behind the Woodsmere Close townhouses today (Oct. 26) after a fire destroyed them earlier this month.

The fire on Oct. 16 destroyed six homes; luckily no one was injured.

Demolition has begun on the townhouses, with an excavator, construction workers, and investigators walking through the rubble.

A few details on the incident have emerged, such as the fire starting on the backside of the complex, but an investigation into the root cause is still ongoing.

Multiple families have been left without a home -- there are several ways to help them out.

At this time, there is no timeframe for when the townhouses will be completely torn down or if new ones will take their place.
