Episode Details

Fall River’s historic police station on Bedford Street has finally come down—reduced to rubble after years of decay and safety concerns. Building Commissioner Glenn Hathaway called it a necessary move, citing structural dangers that made the building unsafe. The demolition wasn’t easy: asbestos contamination forced strict precautions, including constant air monitoring and wetting debris to control dust. Initial plans were rejected by the state environmental agency, leading to a revised strategy with backup disposal options—approved on August 6th. Remarkably, no violations or fines have occurred, as crews remain vigilant in protecting public health throughout the entire process.
