I was just going to ask him some questions about the fire. He was inside of a vacant, and a fire started inside that vacant. I was just trying to get, see what happened.

Too many homeless people n too many people using these houses for their drug use , that’s y they are always catching fire n it’s really hurting the community n actual people who may live next door to these vacant houses!!! The people who own these vacant homes are probably no longer living n the houses just sit there empty n run down someone should be held accountable for these vacant homes were the owners may have passed on n no one has ever done anything about the properties

So many vacant housed in the city.....many that are not liveable. Make owners tear them down or tear them down and put liens on the property. They mo longer have a purpose! They are a fire hazard!
