An abandoned Kmart store that homeless vagrants have been using as their temporary home in Portland, Oregon was riddled by a massive fire on Wednesday, authorities say.
Portland Fire Bureau spokesperson Rick Graves told The Oregonian that it was only a matter of time before the site was set ablaze.
"We know this structure," Graves asserted. "We've known this has been vacant for some time … [with] people gaining occupancy and using it as their home."
Several complaints from nearby residents have recently been made towards the city over the building's accessibility and draw for homeless individuals, trash, and debris. The most recent complaint, filed on July 6, prompted a city inspection, which is currently ongoing.

Aren’t you worried about the fella who ran across the Korean DMZ?
Rep. McCaul(Tx.) is. I don’t know why. Whatever punishment he was facing here he can serve his time in N. Korea. Upon his return a dishonorable discharge. That way we don’t have to feed him in the army brig.
Well he did show us they did not shoot on sight! That said leave him there.
Looks like a nice apartment complex where they shot the film at. Guess what, they might be able to start walking around the block again...maybe.
A little bit of petro and a lit match will clear the cockroaches. This should happen to ALL of Portland. There are so many cockroaches. /spit
the mental ones should be locked up but that ship sailed with the liberal courts of the 70's when the aclu sued and called institutionalization " jail without bail" and won.
My solution?
youre dealing with people who have too much freedom and not enough consequences. STOP FEEDING AND CLOTHING THEM!
CLEANUP ON AISLES ONE THRU TWENTY-TWO!
B-Mart?
