General information about the incident: Smoke was seen coming from the bank; it was closed because of the holiday.  Firefighters searched for the source of the smoke.  After extensive searching, it was found to be coming from a void/attic area just below the roof around a roof access door leading to the roof.  A very small area around the door was damaged.  It appeared to firefighters that the door might have been tampered with, so Metro Police was notified to investigate for possible criminal activity.  The incident remains under investigation by LVFR Arson Investigators and Metro Police.
