Homes In Foreclosure Among Six Vacant Houses Involved In String Of Suspicious Cincinnati Fires

In Cincinnati, Ohio, The Enquirer reports:

• A two-alarm fire at a vacant house late Monday in [South Fairmount] is considered suspicious, Cincinnati fire officials said today. The fire is the latest in a string of about six suspicious blazes at vacant homes recently in Price Hill, Westwood and South Fairmount, said District 2 Fire Chief Monty Wolf. “There’s been a rash of fires in vacant homes on the West Side,” he said. Investigators aren't sure if the fires are the work of a single arsonist or if they are a coincidence. At least some of the homes are in foreclosure, he noted.
