After a recent fire gutted the Estes Park's Park Theatre Mall in Colorado, officials found evidence of asbestos.

The Federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives has worked to contain the asbestos, but it is an ongoing project.

It is not rare to find asbestos in buildings as old as the Estes Park's Park Theater Mall, which was built in the 1910s and renovated in the 1970s. Many old buildings such as that one may still have asbestos insulation.

Workers on the scene identified that quickly, as to avoid risking asbestos exposure. Asbestos has been linked to mesothelioma, a rare and often deadly cancer.
