That structure has caught on fire before.

I've called BRFD on it at least once.

Doesn't look like it's gonna spread. Not a lot of things around that structure. They just have to get the leak stopped if it's really gas.

My dad had an over-insured building and he always jokingly said he hoped someone burnt it down. If it had brunt down I definitely would have questioned arson.
