Wow that sucks. Is the building currently occupied? It looked pretty vacant and run down last time I went by. When was it built?

Jimmy · April 25, 2011, 07:34:16 AM

Oh, how surprising. Another fire in Springfield...

That sucks. I guess we'll be looking at another vacant lot in Springfield.

Gonzo · April 25, 2011, 07:45:54 AM

Gee... I wonder how that started? Let's see, the building's vacant, boarded up, and supposedly secure... How far behind was the owner on payments? "Hello, State Farm? I need to file a claim..."

Nice. It was bound to happen. I know it is not PC but my dad used to use the term, Jewish Lightning.

yep...I saw the smoke this morning....this is very sad.

danno...I have no idea what Jewish Lightning is...can you please explain?

75 firefighters on site, since 7 AM. Channel 12 claims its vacant, no one hurt, but fearing the building could collapse.

Anyone see a mythical figure playing fiddle onsite?

There is a very determined serial arsonist in Springfield. He (or she) has burned house after house in Springfield, mostly on the east side. To say these are unrelated incidents started by homeless is not logical. The homeless do not want to draw attention to themselves or where they live. It is not cold, so this fire was not started to keep warm.

No doubt this fire was started for either profit or attention or kicks.

Like the others.

Arson to recoup insurance money.

Maybe River Region should have been allowed to use the building.

Better that someone put it to beneficial use than the homeless, vagrants, or Hiondies destroy it with fire.

Jimmy...
Agreed.

fsujax · April 25, 2011, 08:22:16 AM

The building is owned by the federal government. Very sad to see it burning.

Is Dusty still in prison? Anyone know the latest with her?
