Update 11:40 p.m.: Just as firefighters were packing up their gear from the 87th and Greenwood fire, they rushed to a new fire in a house near Greenwood Ave. and Holman Road. There was heavy smoke and flames when they arrived and just when firefighters thought they had the fire under control there was a flare-up. Rob was on the scene and shot this video:
Update 10:45 p.m. Firefighters raced to a fire at the OK Corral BBQ restaurant at 87th and Greenwood just after 10 p.m. They quickly extinguished a small garbage fire in the basement. The large response shut down Greenwood Ave. in front of the Safeway , and traffic has been routed around the area.
Here’s a good look at the fire response in an overhead shot by Nick Collins.
And a cell phone camera photo from Rob on the ground as firefighters wrap up after extinguishing the blaze. No injuries were reported. (Thank you Sarra, John, Cheryl and Rob for the tips!)

Be on the look out because this was no regular fire. The night before last there was a dumpster fire about 10:00 behind the Subway on 104th and Greenwood. Last night at 10:00 the vacent BBQ restraunt across from Safeway was on fire, then at 11:00 the vacent house right across the street from Subwayagain on 104th and Greenwood went up in flames. Looks like we have an arsonist on the prowl at about 10:00.

Wow, I’d hate to think an arsonist is at work around the neighborhood.

Does anything know the cause of the fire in the vacant house on 104rd & Greenwood? That was a nasty fire! I live across the street and the whole neighborhood got up for that one.
