Ohio House Fires Ruled Suspicious

Investigators said two suspicious house fires kept firefighters busy overnight. The first fire happened around midnight at a vacant house in the 800 block of Xenia Avenue near Boltin Street. Authorities said as fire crews wrapped up the fire on Xenia Avenue, another fire was reported at a nearby home on Hulbert Street. Investigators said the house on Xenia Avenue did not suffer much damage because it was actually the seen of a fire a couple of months ago. Authorities said the home on Hulbert Street suffered extensive damage because it appeared to have been burning for a while. Arson investigators said they believe the fires have a lot in common. They are looking into whether they were set by the same person.
