WARWICK, R.I. -- The city of Warwick on Tuesday ordered the owners of Rocky Point to tear down several buildings left behind since the amusement park closed a decade ago, NBC 10 News reported.

The move comes after a spectacular fire Monday that destroyed one of the abandoned buildings. Firefighters remained at the scene overnight and were still hosing down hot spots under the smoldering debris of the former Cliff House on Tuesday.

City and state fire marshals and Warwick police are trying to determine the cause of the fire.

The latest fire has renewed concerns about security and safety on the 125 acres of abandoned land. The current owner said there is security on the property 24 hours a day, but conceded it's impossible to be everywhere at once.

City officials told the caretaker of the property that the city wants all of the dilapidated structures along the old midway torn down as soon as possible. That would leave only a few major buildings left standing and make the property more manageable.

"At least we can narrow it down, security-wise, to the former Shore Dinner Hall and the Palladium, which are pretty secure. They're noncombustible, they're brick," said Ted Sarno, director of the city Building Inspection Department.

The caretaker for the property told NBC 10 he would relay the city's request to the owners of the property.

The U.S. Small Business Administration is the receiver. The group Toll Brothers is the company that wants to develop the land.

Sarno said the owners have a week to raze the buildings, or the city will do it for them at the owner's expense.

The Rocky Point amusement park closed in 1995.
