A vacant, two-story house in the 200 block of Webster Ave. that was set on fire last week was torched again early Wednesday, fire officials said.
Lt. Bruce Sterling said one room of the duplex was gutted. Heat from the flames melted the vinyl siding of a neighboring house, which was occupied. No one was injured.
The duplex was one of three vacant houses in the 200 block that were set on fire Feb. 10, officials said. The other two were gutted, while the third - the one torched Wednesday - had minor damage, Sterling said.
Officials believe the fires are related.
