BISBEE, Ariz. — The Bisbee community is still figuring out what the future of Main Street is after two buildings were destroyed in a fire last week. A section of Main Street remains closed to pedestrians and traffic, as of Monday.
Now, there's foot traffic but they can't get to her shop because of barricades on the street and sidewalk.Bisbee Fire Chief Jim Richardson was on scene Monday to assess the damage. His crews left the scene Thursday night after dousing the buildings in water. Richardson knows the businesses want to open and the effect this closure is having on them. But because the buildings have been weakened by the fire, they could collapse at anytime.
“We’re probably going to have to do some assuring of the walls, the ceilings and stuff like that to get in there and start doing a more thorough investigation,” he said.
