Fire Chief Jim Ellis said no buildings were threatened and the blaze, likely set, was extinguished shortly after midnight by two engines and a water tanker. Patricia Jones feared the flames could have spread from the wood clad pit seen from West 16th Street.

Food Bank Kitchen Slowed by Contractor Shortage
Harold Howard blamed delays on a contractor shortage in the Permian Basin, saying the kitchen work aims for early October but faces a near five month slip. Merita Sandoval of the Community Development Department notes a lack of available builders and workers, with nonprofit projects hardest hit. Folsom added that few bidders responded and timely completion is jeopardized by the tight labor market.
