A structure fire consumed the long-vacant apartment building at 833 H Street in Eureka last night. Emergency personnel were called to the scene after 1 a.m. 

This place had a troubled history. Long owned and managed by local slumlords Floyd and Betty Squires, the building was condemned by the city in 2018. The most recent Google Street View image shows its dilapidated state in October 2024. 

However, Facebookers note that contractors had been working on the structure recently, with more improvements scheduled to begin soon. 

The Outpost will update readers if and when more details are available.
