According to several reports, the fire that appeared to be coming from the building that housed the recently shuttered Broken Spoke Cafe began this afternoon at the duplex next door, at 1807 Washington Ave. That structure has been completely destroyed; fire department officials report that the Broken Spoke, at 1809 Washington, has “sustained major damage.” A third house nearby got mighty warm. No injuries have been reported.

Broken Spoke Condos coming soon……..
Here we go again… Hopefully, the CoH Fire Department arson division clears this of “any” wrong doing.
Belgian Lighting.
That duplex was tiny. 640 sq ft. The A/C for the restaurant sat in the front yard on Google maps. I wonder how much it will cost them to replace the fire damaged utility poles. Was the power cut off to the area?
Ross, the power was out at Catalina last afternoon/evening, and i think this must have been the cause.
Never seen a power pole on fire like that…gives this pyro some ideas…
Hope this isn’t another late night pie type incident.
Excuse me, I ordered my moules mariniere-style, not blackened.
