not to sound like an ass, but good riddance. there are several run down warehouse types right near the interstate, the old Philco building is one (although it may have been part of this blaze). The city is spending a lot of money to revitalize the downtown area, but nothing is being done about interstate travelers' first impressions of downtown.

I am sure the fire was accidental.

The fire is in question. The guy that owned the buildings evedently lived there and heard people in the building. He called 911 to tell them that someone had set the building on fire at 110am or so. It is fishy but will be some time to get the investigation started due to the unstable structure of the remains. At any rate, he will be billed for the demolition and not the services rendered according to local outlets. I hope the fire fighters all recover well from injury. A local furniture owner also lost everything he had in his store. Tuff losses all around.
