MASON CITY – An apartment house damaged by fire last summer has been demolished.
On July 19th, 2014, the Mason city Fire Department responded to a fire at 417 2nd Street NW, owned by Travis Bailey and Lisa Bailey of Mason City.
Firefighters entered the two-unit apartment dwelling and at first found little evidence of a fire. Firefighters also were on the roof seeking the source of smoke seeping out of the building. The interior crew cut a hole in the living room ceiling with a chain saw and encountered heavy fire. Two firefighters were overcome with heat and were transported to Mercy Hospital. The fire was eventually extinguished and an investigation unto its cause was undertaken. According to the fire report, the cause of the fire was listed as unintentional and attributed to faulty electrical wiring that came into contact with fabric or insulation that was then ignited.
Over the course of the last week, the structure located at 417 2nd Street NW was demolished. According to city officials, the owners received a complete settlement and the demolition was paid for by their insurance company.
