Joel Eldridge, who had worked for the county for 18 years, was the subject of an investigation after he took the photo while attorneys were out of the room.

Three families are homeless in the wake of the fire, which shut down traffic on Mount Vernon Avenue during Monday’s afternoon commuting hours.

Tenants of 94 Mount Vernon Ave. were able to get out of the building after the fire broke out, but are now homeless following the destructive blaze.
