Fire officials said a Western Avenue house that caught fire late Monday night is a "total loss."
Demolition crews from Triple T Trucking and David Manning Inc. used excavators to take down the remnants of the West Brattleboro home owned by Peter Diamondstone and his wife, Doris Lake, Tuesday afternoon.
Although the fire was under control at about 2 a.m., emergency crews were still on the scene Tuesday afternoon, more than 14 hours after the initial fire, attempting to clear the scene.
