Displaced want back in after fire

The residents of 12 senior apartments, a day-care center and the Proctor Post Office who were displaced by a fire Friday night are wondering when they can move back in. Cynthia Thurston of the Postal Service say regular mail delivery will go on as always, but PO box customers will have to go to the Rutland Post Office post office for service. Seniors living in the apartment complex were assured by the building's owner that doing what they can. Simpson Development Corporation hadn't determined a dollar value for the damage when an insurance adjuster arrived at the building on Sunday. Butch Sutherland of the Vermont Division of Fire Safety, said the damage to the building boils down to electricity.
