Abandoned building fires causing concern for Topeka Fire Department

Early Monday morning the Topeka Fire Department responded to a building fire believed to have been set intentionally. The estimated damage? $0.  That’s because this isn’t the first, second, or third time this building has caught fire this year.  According to the TFD, the abandoned house at 1600 SW Clay Street has caught fire four times since July. This time of year is already rough for fire departments. “I don’t want to say when winter hits we get more arsons involving vacant structures, but we do get more fires involving structures in general house fires, commercial fires, everything,” Topeka Fire Public Education Officer Alan Stahl said.
