MEDINA – The big fire at 613 Main St. has been completely extinguished as of 8 this morning, the Medina Fire Department reported.
Provided photo: The inside of the building is shown on Saturday. The roof and floors caved in.
The blaze brought in 150 firefighters from four counties. The cause of the fire remains under investigation.
A structural engineer toured the site with village officials on Saturday and determined there is no sign of imminent collapse of the building despite the roof and floors caving in.
“An agreement between the property owner and the Village is in place for the future of the property,” the Fire Department said in a news release this evening.
The building is owned by Jeff Fuller. He was one of two residents in the site, and both safely got out from the fire. There also was a carpet business on the first floor.
Security fencing has been put in place around the building, and Fire Department personnel will be on site for the immediate future.
Main Street also is fully reopen after a section had been blocked off between Park Avenue and North Avenue.
“Thank you for all your support, assistance, and patience as we move forward,” the Fire Department stated.
