In one building, 322 condos under construction were destroyed. A few hours later, a second blaze on the roof of the nearby Art Foundry damaged about 80 units.</p><p>There were no injuries, but the heat melted the paint on 20 parked cars.</p><p>FBI spokesman Stephen Emmett said the investigation into the fire continues because others may also be involved.</p><p>___</p><p>HASH(0x1cdb28c)</p>
