Crap. Is that Duke Duval's bar? The four story building is solid concrete and brick, so it can't be that one.

It's either the old Chili Bordello (which is occupied) or the vacant building next door. Sad to see what's left of Railroad Row literally go up in flames.

The fire was in the bar. From my garage this morning:

Perhaps a kitchen or electrical fire? At any rate, it doesn't look nearly as bad as it could.
