THE FATE OF A HISTORIC WATSONVILLE BUILDING, THAT WAS SEVERELY DAMAGED BY FIRE IN APRIL, IS UNCERTAIN. THE CLEAN-UP OF THE APPLE GROWERS ICE AND COLD STORAGE BUILDING ON WEST BEACH STREET IS SCHEDULED TO BEGIN THIS WEEK. DURING THAT CLEAN-UP, CITY BUILDING OFFICIALS WILL CHECK THE STRUCTURAL SOUNDNESS OF THE 78 THOUSAND SQUARE FOOT WAREHOUSE. A SPARK FROM A ROOFER’S TORCH IS WHAT IGNITED THE 4-ALARM FIRE.
