Demolition has begun on the Centennial Mills building in Portland, Oregon. 

A massive fire blazed through the Centennial Mills warehouse in NW Portland on Aug. 2.

Today, August 17, four controlled explosions were used to take down the Water Tower. 

Full demolition of the building could take weeks.
