CARTHAGE, N.Y. (WWNY) - On Friday, 7 News got a closer look at the old Carthage mill where a chemical fire was brewing.
It has now been 10 days since the fire that prompted a shelter in place order for the twin villages.
The now-condemned building has caution tape around it to keep people out.
We asked village officials where things go from here. They say they’re waiting for more reports to come in before they comment.
