Two males were seen running from the apartment hours before the fire was reported, investigators say.
Fire investigators in Euclid believe two males seen running from an apartment Monday might have information about an arson fire. EUCLID, Ohio — Investigators say a fire that caused extensive damage to an apartment Monday was intentionally set and they now are searching for two suspects.
Firefighters were called to the apartment on the 27100 block of Sidney Drive just after 10 p.m., according to a news release from the fire department. When they arrived, there was a strong odor of burning, but they discovered the fire in the apartment had mostly burned itself out because of a lack of oxygen. The blaze still caused heavy damage to a stairwell and second-floor hallway in the unoccupied apartment.
It’s estimated the fire caused $75,000 in damage. Fire investigators say the fire was intentionally set on the stairwell in the apartment. Surveillance footage shows two suspects entering and exiting the apartment hours before the fire was reported, according to the news release. People also were seen on surveillance walking away from the apartment moments before the fire was reported.
Investigators believe two males seen running from the apartment earlier in the day might know something about the fire. Anyone with information can contact the Fire Prevention Bureau at 216-289-8425. Callers can remain anonymous and possibly be eligible for a reward of $5,000 if an arrest leads to a conviction.
