Lorain – A possible arsonist has hit another vacant structure in Lorain.

Lorain Firefighters received a call at 6 p.m. Monday of smoke coming from a building at 2108 East 28th Street. As Firefighters began rolling out of their Station a couple blocks away they could see the smoke filling the air already.

Heavy smoke was pouring from all sides of the structure and within minutes the smoke turn to heavy fire.
Firefighters quickly took a defensive attack on the structure – extending their aerial truck and dousing it with water from the air and from all sides. Fire Command even requested that the water pressure in the area be pumped up to assist in the battle.

A fast, well-orchestrated attack saved nearby structures from falling to the same fate as 2108. One of the structures is even attached to 2108 by a walkway but was untouched by fire.

The fire was brought under control in under an hour and was completely out in just over one hour.

The fire is being looked at as suspicious and neighbors speaking with TMC NEWS said that they are concerned about all of the vacant buildings catching on fire lately.

The fire is currently under investigation by the Lorain Fire Department.
