BREAKING: Massive fire at Mr. Used building in Hamilton’s east end

The former home of Mr. Used on Barton Street East in Hamilton’s east end set fire just before noon on Friday and, at the time of this writing, is still currently ablaze.

Hamiltonians situated basically anywhere in the city who look eastward are sure to see massive clouds of black smoke rising to the sky at this longstanding Mr. Used warehouse, which used to be a place where Hamiltonians could search through used, found, and donated treasures of all kinds.

The building has been sitting empty and unused for years, and the out-of-control fire is currently being managed by the Hamilton Fire Department with firefighters at the scene.

The cause of the fire is currently unknown. Urbanicity will provide updates on the situation as they become available.
