Since the beginning of the month, multiple fires have been reported in Lincoln Square and North Center, some targeting Halloween decorations. At least two fires have been classified as arson by the Chicago Police Department.
Someone set fire to a porch in the 2200 block of West Ainslie Street around 2 a.m. Saturday, police said. It’s unclear whether the latest blaze is related to the recent reported arsons on the porches of homes. Police wouldn’t say if Halloween decorations were targeted in the most recent fire or if it was being investigated as possible arson. It’s currently classified as noncriminal damage to property from a fire, police said.
