Demolition crews were busy at work Thursday afternoon, tearing down the former Kaier Brewery on Main Street in Mahanoy City.
Borough officials feared the building was in danger of collapsing. So earlier this week, they shut down the roads surrounding the building and evacuated homes and two businesses nearby by, then called in a demolition crew from Lackawanna County to bring it down.
Crews worked for more than five hours, Thursday and despite this morning’s snow, are expected to resume demolition first thing in the morning.
The Department Of Environmental Protection also has a crew on scene, monitoring air quality while demolition work is being done.
