Demolition has begun on an abandoned glass factory that was destroyed in a fire in October, 2011.
The property, known as the Old Skinner Glass Factory, dates back to the 1880s, but has been abandoned for several years.
Authorities in Hammonton say it was likely an act of arson that severely damaged the abandoned glass factory last fall.
Officials had previously ruled the four-alarm blaze suspicious, after it ripped through the North Egg Harbor Road property.
Tankers were brought in from as far as Gloucester and Burlington Counties to help battle the fast-moving blaze. Old chemicals were found inside the building, but luckily, never became an issue for firefighters.http://www.nbc40.net/story/21943200/demolition-underway-at-old-skinner-glass-factory
