Due to the extreme hoarding and dangerous clutter inside the house, officials have decided to conduct a controlled burn of the home and detached garage to safely dispose of the hazardous materials. The house is currently secured and under 24/7 police surveillance, and a community meeting will be held to address concerns of the neighbors. No date has been set for the burn, as the mayor's team wants to ensure it is carried out safely.
