The clean-up at a bike and ski shop was forced to stop last week when a substantial amount of asbestos was discovered in the debris left behind after a fire.
A demolition examiner discovered asbestos in the debris and, as a result, reported his findings to the Department of Health. The debris from the fire at the Castle Rock Bike and Ski Shop remained untouched for a few weeks before removal began. The building was constructed in 1976, when it was still common to use materials that contained asbestos, known for its sturdiness and fire-resistant qualities. Though the health department confirmed that asbestos was indeed disturbed during the blaze, the source of the toxic material was not apparent. There is a possibility that the firefighters responding to the Castle Rock fire may have been exposed to the material during the initial response to the blaze, though Fire Chief Art Morales reports that he does not know whether or not that was the case.
