I live 2 blocks away, believe this to be rental property with children living in the home. They were always working on cars and what not, so maybe something was left on or gas, a battery, etc that sparked the fire. If you were just driving by, you probably wouldn't notice, but if you glanced, you would. All the windows are out and it's pretty black inside.
Best of luck to them.

i live at 87th and lamar. I heard sirens and emergency vehicles for nearly an hour. I got online to check into it. I was worried that there could have been an emergency at my son's school.
I've never seen your blog before, i'm really grateful to you for writing it.
My prayers and thoughts are with the people that live there.
