Earlier in the news we told you about a fire that left 7 people without their homes. But on Monday, there was another fire in the south that displaced 15 members of the Arzu family. Around 8:30 in the morning, police and firefighters responded to the scene where they saw a wooden house on fire. But since the yard contained more than one building, the fire quickly spread to another house, which it destroyed, before damaging a third house.
The owner of the first house, 50-year-old Lavern Arzu, told authorities that she was in the yard when she saw thick smoke coming from her house. She also reported that she believed it was a case of arson.
However, the police and fire departments aren't so sure. Their investigation is so far leading them to believe that the fire may have been accidentally set by a child.
Here is what they told us today:

Arzu reported that no stove or electricity was in the house where the fire started.
