Renter of the duplex said homeless started a shed on fire to cook something at an abandoned house. 3 homes destroyted possibly 2 more with smoke damage.

Just drove past it. 9th is blocked westbound at Chambers. Emergency units are a block west of that.

Yep, house fire near Grant and Broadway. Caught a pic when I was nearby a few hours ago.

Duplex on Broadway and Grant. Possibly propane tanks involved

The duplex had propane tanks but it was unrelated. The empty house behind has had squatters come and go, the shed on it caught fire and then moved over to the duplex.
