The above view is looking east towards downtown. It looks like the fire might have started at a homeless encampment that’s in the trees just a few feet to the east of the site, but that’s just conjecture.

I also have heard unofficial accounts that, around the same time last night, there was some wine stolen from the 7-11 on Belvidere and a subsequent car hit and run, plus a suicide threat to jump off the Lee Bridge- but again, no official word as of yet.
