fire on st marks

neene

tonite there was a fire on st. marks between classon & franklin

whatever the cause of this particular incident
there is another problem, along with fire arms & street crime that our community faces
and that is arson

i don't believe that it is possible to address any of these issues separately
safety is what we are talking about
and everyone's safety impacts the community as a whole

without jumping to any conclusions about tonite,
i just want to acknowledge the importance of addressing all of these issues together
under an umbrella of neighborhood safety

I agree with you. I believe, though, that this was in the vacant new building. Is it too far fetched to hope it was some sort of construction mishap?

They did send a hell of a lot of firetrucks, though.

the smoke i saw was coming from the buildings to the east of the new building

when i asked a street cop about it...
he basically said landlord/tenant/section 8

again that's not proof but the m.o. for this sort of thing is a roof fire
(and this was top floor smoke)
that way the tenants get smoke and water damage
but the building isn't destroyed
hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm..................

i find this as offensive, scary & destructive as the guns
