Roanoke City fire officials are investigating two destructive southeast fires separated by less than two hours – and a dozen blocks apart. But investigators say it appears that the two are not related. The first call came to the 700 block of Bullitt Avenue, a fire that displaced six people. The second brought firefighters to the 2000 block of Dale Avenue. Officials say that building was vacant. No injuries are reported in either blaze.
