Another Night Another Fire

Miami Beach, FL – February 15, 2011 – Seems theres a serial arsonist on Miami Beach. For the third time in less than a week, an abandoned building on South Beach has been destroyed by fire. This time, the building was on 21st, near Washington.

I arrived as soon as Miami Beach Fire Rescue had put out the fire and were talking about it. They seemed exhausted and upset and when asked if there was any difference to the one they worked on Sunday, a fire fighter responded by saying that “it wasn’t as big of a flame, but it was much harder to put out.” By the look on their faces and the blood running from their knuckles, they weren’t lying.

Luckily, no one was seriously injured. But again, as Sunday’s fire went out, the investigation into who had started these fires continues.
