An East Cleveland neighborhood is filled with fear, after a home on East 125th Street was hit by three arson fires, two of the fires just 48 days apart.
The home is now just a charred skeleton and neighbors believe it could collapse at anytime, jeopardizing the safety of residents and school children who walk by the home nearly everyday.
Scott Williams told News 5 the third arson fire nearly destroyed his family home next door, melting the siding and flashing on his house.
Williams credited the East Cleveland Fire Department with exceptional response time on all three fires, but said the home must be demolished as soon as possible because it's been a wide-open hazard for several months. "This is a tragedy, fortunately no one was hurt," Williams said.
"It could easily fall on somebody walking by. It's right next to a multi-unit apartment building, families live there, kids go up and down the street going to school."
