The fire at a vacant building in Ansonia last week is now being investigated as arson.
The 2-alarm fire broke out Friday at the old Ansonia Copper and Brass building, which is a vacant structure that has been ruined for years, according to Assistant Fire Chief Anthony Delucia. The building reportedly sits on a 60-acre property.
Firefighters said they saw heavy fire coming from the windows upon arrival. The building's roof caved in as a result of the blaze.
The Department of Energy and Environmental Protection (DEEP) also responded to the scene.
