CNAW2News also spoke with a bystander who said they called 911 after noticing the fire.
“We wanted to make sure the fire trucks were able to find it quickly, so we definitely made sure everything was taken care of first and moved out of their way, but several units were sent that way, and lots of people were standing around the streets, looking at it, so I’m sure people are curious,” the bystander said.
