Sunday, Sept. 30, 2012 | 11:50 a.m.

Firefighters spent an hour early this morning battling flames at a boarded-up Arby’s fast food restaurant.

Las Vegas and Clark County firefighters were called to the building at 3121 W. Sahara Ave. at 1:26 a.m., said Tim Szymanski, a spokesman for Las Vegas Fire and Rescue.

The building was “extensively damaged by the fire,” and investigators are still looking into the cause of the blaze, he said.

No other buildings were damaged, and no injuries were reported. The eastbound and westbound lanes of Sahara Avenue were closed in the area for about two hours.

An abandon building and there is a fire, has to be homeless. You know I don't understand why the homeless as to put fire to a building they are pay no rent but provides them with shelter.
