destroyed by a suspicious fire Sunday morning. Firefighters
initially thought the residents were inside the home, but they
did not not find anyone. No one was hurt.  Investigators do not
know what caused the fire, however firefighters do say it is
suspicious. The occupant is under investigation.  It happened on
the 1100 block of Garfield Avenue around 4:50 a.m. About 15
firefighters arrived to find the home consumed by smoke and
flames.  Because firefighters believed someone was inside the
home, Rescue Mode was declared by on scene Battalion Chief Tom

are victims within the structure. These efforts were complicated
by large amounts of debris and obstacles inside the structure.
