Firefighters found vagrants burning trash & wood outside. They extinguished it and called the Fire Marshal's Office. Then, about 10:30 last night, units were dispatched to a reported explosion in the 3100 South Monroe, Amarillo Texas. When fire crews arrived, they found a detached garage that had collapsed with a small amount of smoke and fire. The occupant had been working on a vehicle inside when the explosion happened.
