Where is MATT on this story? I'm sure this builing was texting or talking on a cell phone before it caught fire, or maybe it was using drugs and alcohol.

I am a little confused on the fire because it seems that there was a fire there yesterday around 8pm and I believe it was the apartment building and then I am guessing that later the Big Eagle burned too. It sounds like this may have been intentional.
