About 11:30 there was a pretty decent-sized fire around 17th & Locust. It was on the eastern side of the street and was surrounded by a buttload of fire trucks. I'm trying to figure out what businesses are in the area.

ahh, that's what those fire trucks were for.

Best guess is A & M Associates at 172X Locust, which is listed as a Light Industrial business.

Hopefully, no one was hurt.

I could smell the smoke here on Quality Hill.

a custom cabinet maker was located in that building, which is a total loss. What a shame.

The building was at 1609 Locust. It was McCartney Cabinets, the picture on the Star website makes it look like a total loss.
