Apparently there's a big fire at Morganford and Beck. Which is one block north of Chippewa, and intersects with Meramec. I'm not sure what's ablaze...but I could see the smoke coming up Tower Grove on my way home.

According to this story from KSDK the building was being rehabbed for commercial and residential use. It was also determined to be arson. Sounds like a case for McGruff the crime dog.

The St. Louis Post-Dispatch mentioned that a portion of the building was being renovated into offices and lofts as well. I also just heard on KTRS that not only was it determined to be arson as you just stated, but also had similarties to the other three construction site arsons/fires.
