Arson fire#12 (39 images)
On Friday June 8th,Indianapolis firefighters responded to a structure fire
on Leonardo St. on the southeast side of Indianapolis. The 2 family duplex was
vacant and was ruled arson by the investigators. There appears to be arson fire
involving a vacant building almost every day. The law enforcement community is
very aware of the risks to the general public.
The general public is beginning to become scared about the rampant arson fires
and are beginning to voice their concerns.
The rash of suspected arson fires continued on Sunday morning, according to an
article in the Evansville Courier and Press when the firefighters had to respond
to the 13th suspected arson fire that did $1000 damage to a garage. The one on
Friday, pictured here, caused about $125,000 damage to the duplex. One firefighter
was treated for a slight injury. A suspect of previous fires who had been in jail since June
1st, was released due to lack of evidence.
