Amarillo Fire Department crews responded to a fire on North Taylor on Sunday night.

According to AFD, units were dispatched to a possible structure fire at an abandoned building located at 508 North Taylor at 10:38PM on April 12. Responding units arrived on scene at 10:42PM to find heavy smoke coming from the structure. Due to the danger presented by fire conditions and the abandoned status of the deteriorated building, it took seven AFD units to bring the fire under control by 11:18PM.

The Amarillo Fire Marshal’s Office was called to the scene to investigate the cause of the fire. The cause was undetermined, although AFD reports the fire was most likely caused by vagrants illegally occupying the building.

No injuries were reported at this incident. Damage to the building was estimated at $50,000.
