Early this morning, a fire call came in to dispatch.

The caller said someone had been set a fire outside an apartment on the 5th floor of Grandview Towers.

The sprinkler system went off and helped contain the fire until vcrews could make it upstairs and put it out.

Then about 20 minutes later, other crews were called to the Crossings Apartments, just a few blocks away, for another fire.

It was darkened down quickly as police became involved in the investigation.

Investigators believe both fires were deliberately set by the same person, and they are developing clues.

Grandview Towers has been in the news this week for elevators that do not work, where wheel-chair bound tenants on the 10th floor have no way down.

It’s unclear whether the elevators were working at the time of the fire.

This is a developing story…
