Three more fires caused by arson broke out late Nov. 8 and early Nov. 9 in Greenwood, damaging three businesses.

All three fires were set intentionally on the exterior of the buildings, Fire Department spokesperson Dana Vander Houwen said. At this point, the department cannot say if the fires were set by the same person responsible for a number of arson attacks in the past month.

The first fire occurred at approximately 11 p.m. Nov. 8 behind Moonphoto, located at 7708 Greenwood Ave. N. It caused $1,000 in damage.

The second fire was spotted by an arson patrol at approximately 4 a.m. Nov. 9 behind Olive You, located at 8516 Greenwood Ave. N. The fire caused $20,000 of damage to the rear wall and electrical panels.

The final fire happened at approximately 7:40 a.m. behind the Quickstop located at 8102 Greenwood Ave. N.

Greenwood has been plagued by arson attacks in the past weeks.

Fire caused damage to an attorney's office and Rosewood Guitars early on Nov. 5. On Oct. 23, fire destroyed four businesses – Green Bean Coffee House, Szechuan Bistro, C.C. Teriyaki and Pho Tic Tac – while damaging the Taproot Theatre and Greenwood Academy of Hair.

Vander Houwen said the Fire Department is encouraging residents and business owners to not leave combustible materials near their homes and buildings and to make sure their smoke alarms are working.
