Investigators have determined that a fire in an abandoned home last week was intentionally set, prompting an arson investigation.The fire broke out around 5 p.m. in a vacant house on W. North Street, filling the area with flames and heavy smoke. Witnesses described the scene as chaotic, with firetrucks lining the street and flames shooting through the roof.
“They were able to grab her, put her on their shoulder and carry her out,” Berry said. The man told investigators that he started the small basement fire to stay warm. However, evidence showed that the larger fire had started on the first floor, not in the basement where the man and woman were staying.“When they opened the basement door and saw how little smoke was coming out, they knew that’s not where the fire started,” Berry said.
