BANK BLAZE

LENGTH: Short :   20 lines
ILLUSTRATION: PHOTO:      No money was burned, but a Tuesday afternoon fire 
          caused $1,000 to $3,000 damage to the First Union bank building at 
          616 Ninth St. in Southeast Roanoke. Roanoke District Fire Chief 
          Thomas Tyree said firefighters responded to a call about 2:15 p.m. 
          They had the fire under control in about two minutes. Tyree said he 
          believes the blaze was caused by combustible materials that were 
          located next to a water heater.
