Jan. 29-- Tulsa fire investigators have determined the cause of business fire Saturday night to be accidental.

Several drivers on U.S. 169 driving near 61st Street called dispatch to report the blaze at Roadhouse Motorsports, 5700 S. 107th East Ave., just after 7 p.m., said Stan May, public information officer with the Tulsa Fire Department, at the scene.

Investigators say the fire started on the lower floor near the building's west end and spread to the upper floor where petroleum products were kept, May said Sunday.

A dozen fire apparatus and about 50 emergency personnel worked for an hour to contain the blaze.
