.
AT 1448 HOURS 821 (BIERMAN, PUTNAM, COX) RESPONDED FROM STATION 3 FOR A
STRUCTURE FIRE AT 4901 MAIN. WE HAVE BEEN HERE 2 TIMES BEFORE FOR ARSON
FIRES. THIS IS AN ABANDONED DRIVE-IN MOVIE CONCESSION BUILDING. THE
SPRINGFIELD POLICE WERE ON THE SCENE FIRST AND WERE TOLD BY NEIGHBORS THAT
TWO YOUNG BOYS WERE SCENE RUNNING ACROSS THE FIELD TO THE WEST. INSPECTION
OF THE BUILDING FOUND THAT NEWSPAPER HAD BEEN SET ON FIRE WITH MATCHES. A
BOOK OF MATCHES FOUND AT THE SCENE ARE INCLUDED WITH THIS REPORT. THE FIRE
WAS EXTINGUISHED BY STOMPPING IT OUT WITH OUR FEET.
I STRONGLY SUGGEST THAT THE CITY USE IT'S AUTHORITY AND MAKE THE OWNER HAVE
THE ABANDONED DEMOLISHED. IT IS A NUSIANCE AND WE WILL CONTINUE TO HAVE
MOF~E F I RES.
