Suspected arson fire causes $25K damage

A fire did an estimated $25,000 damage to the Wild Side Bar, 407 Old Shawnee Road, about 2 p.m. Sunday, said Assistant Fire Chief Dean Bush.

The fire is believed to have started outside the building and appears to have been set, Bush said.

It damaged the cooler area inside the bar where merchandise is kept, he said. The fire was reported at 2:08 p.m. and had been extinguished by 3:30 p.m.

The fire marshal is expected to investigate the fire today.

The bar was privately operated. The building is owned by a Tulsa vending machine company, Bush said.
