Fire officials suspect arson was the cause of a fire at a vacant convenience store in Longview, Wash., late Thursday night.
Firefighters reportedly had to cut through boarded up doors with a chainsaw in order to fight the fire. Though bystanders were initially yelling things like "Get out!" when firefighters arrived, a report from Longview officials said a quick search found the building to be vacant.
The store, located at 1809 Washington Way, has been without power for at least a year and has been vacant for much longer, according to Longview officials. The city recently had to increase security at the store due to vandalism.
People at the scene reportedly told police the fire had been "intentionally set."
