Fall River officials have decided to proceed with plans to demolish several vacant buildings on Hartwell Street after a fire broke out at the old Frank M. Silvia School over the weekend.

According to Deputy Fire Chief Neil Furtado, the fire started in a classroom closet on the second floor and burned for “a considerable time” before crews arrived.

Fortunately, no one was inside the building at the time and no injuries were reported.
