Another suspected arson

Another house burnt down.

At least this one was an abandoned home and no one occupying it.  of course there was still the danger that it could have spread.

Arson is suspected in a fire that gutted an abandoned building south of downtown early Saturday morning, fire officials said.

No one was injured in the 2:15 a.m. blaze in the 300 block of South Presa Street, but the building was razed, said acting fire shift commander Brooke Hildreth.

She said no one was in the building, a home built in 1903, when firefighters arrived to find the structure fully engulfed in flames.
