One burned apartment at Bates Townhomes has ed, following a deadly fire laat week and emergeni-y
been boarded up, and the others have been vocal- evacuation orders by the Alvin Fire Marshal
sideration for several days.
“There were plenty of discus-
sions in the past week that were
heading in that direction," Merkel
said. ’
Investigations last week by the
Alvin Fire Marshal/ with support
from the State Fire Marshal’s
office, determined the apartments
had a “significant amount of
wiring issues," Merkel said.
Those findings, as well as a lack
of working smoke detectors, led to
the call for residents to vacate the
apartments.
