Somerset-Pulaski County Special Response Team s building, Chief
Doug Baker tried to look at the bright side. After all, it was a chance to do some spring cleaning, he said.
The building, several vehicles and a lot of equipment were severely damaged in a fire that took place Monday afternoon at the SRT s headquarters on
Stigall Drive.
On Saturday, workers were clearing out the building, throwing out anything that can t be used and saving anything that might be salvageable.
Baker said that next week a company called Servpro would come in and clean the equipment so that SRT can determine what can definitely be saved.
