Rubble has replaced the house damaged by fire where four children and two adults died on Mother's Day 2013 in Pottsville.
The property at 235 Pierce St. was demolished last week, said Jennifer Imbody, secretary for Northeast Industrial Service Corp., Shamokin.
"Because of the weather, it took us a while to get up there and get it," she said Thursday.
She did not know the exact date last week the property was demolished but said it took at least a day.
The Pottsville city council awarded a demolition bid to the company in November.
Joy Brown, 8, Jeremiah Brown, 7, Emily Brown, 3, and Elijah Brown, 2, along with their father, Eric Brown, 31, and aunt Kristina Thomas, 23, died on May 12.
The fire started in the second-floor kitchen area of the home and spread up the stairs to the third floor, where all six victims, as well as their dog, were found. All victims died of carbon monoxide poisoning and smoke inhalation.
Kelly Brown, the mother of the children, was doing laundry across the street when the fire raged. During the fire, she tried to save her family but could not. She has since moved to Washington state with family.
An investigation by the Pottsville Fire Department, city police and state police ruled the cause of the fire accidental, and the house did not have working smoke detectors at the time of the fire.
Donald J. Chescavage, codes administrator for the city, did not return a call for comment Thursday.
Pottsville fire Chief Todd March said Thursday he knew the property had been demolished.
"It was a hazardous building the way it was fire damaged," he said.
The house was on the blight list for the city.
March said he thinks the neighbors will appreciate that the house is no longer standing because of the memories it can evoke and the danger it posed.
The demolition of the property "brings closure to the incident" of the fatal house fire, March said.
There is no additional information to provide about the fire, he said.
The fire department expects a shipment of smoke detectors in the near future.
Those who financially can not afford one can call city hall at 570-622-1234 and ask for the fire department.
Renters should speak to their landlords about the detectors or call the city codes department in city hall if they have questions about them, March said.
