Monroe Street Fire in Wichita Falls, Texas

A 3 alarm fire was called to the 1500 block of Monroe Street in the popular store front shopping center in Wichita Falls Monday evening.  Investigators have yet to figure out the cause to the fire, but it was successfully put out in less than two hours.  Up to three store fronts were damaged by smoke or fire but it is said that the old masonry was untouched from the flames.

The drought within Wichita Falls, TX may also have effected how the blaze started, accompanied with a structure that was built in the 1920's.  Older building's structures can become dry over decades, thus becoming suseptible to fires.
