AFD Battles Two Weekend Fires

Amarillo Fire crews had a busy weekend.

At 2:07 pm Sunday crews were sent to the 900 block of South Polk Street where they found a home with fire and smoke coming from the windows.

The home was vacant and had several windows boarded up Firefighters quickly put the blaze down and found no occupants inside during a search.

A second fire took place inside a garage in the 100 block of North Florida Street.

AFD was called in just after 2:00 a.m. and upon arrival found a garage with heavy fire showing.

The fire was brought under control, with no exposure to other areas.

The occupants of the home were not there at the time of the fire.

The Amarillo Fire Marshal’s Office is investigating both incidents to determine the cause.
