The fires were reported Tuesday night and Wednesday afternoon on opposite ends of the old R. Vickery School building in the city’s Glenwood neighborhood.
Photos shared by the Fort Worth Fire Department showed the building’s east wing engulfed in flames Tuesday night.
The fire department said the abandoned building is well-known to fire crews. They’ve battled at least half a dozen fires there just this year alone. "It’s a three-story building. An old, abandoned school. It has a full basement. There’s holes in the floors. There’s trip hazards between trash and furniture that gets drug in to here," Trojack said. "There’s dogs that live in that our people have had to deal with. Not only when they come in on fires but for EMS calls."The dangerous debris include a bicycle, trash, old furniture, clothing, shoes and even a tire.
