An abandoned and condemned Little Rock building caught fire Thursday, leading fire officials to extinguish the blaze during a morning thunderstorm. Little Rock Fire Capt. Jason Weaver said the fire started at about 8:45 a.m. near the 2400 block of South Pulaski Street. Firefighters put out the majority of the fire quickly and tended to smaller fires that flared up at the building throughout the morning, he said. Officials are still investigating what started the fire. Weaver said homeless people would frequently stay inside of the structure. He said the department was unaware of any lightning strikes in the area that might have caused the blaze.
