It happened early Sunday morning, on 24th Street, near Westmoreland Drive, about eight fire engines and 20 firefighters worked for about two hours to contain the blaze.
The home was initially believed to be abandoned but according to neighbors, there were people living in there.
“I see people over here walking. They had people living here before,” said one neighbor who preferred to remain anonymous. “I see about 3 or 4 people there every day.”

Neighbors also say the place was also used a drug-selling point and did not seem surprised that the fire could have been intentional.
“It just became a drug house,” said William Andrews, who lives right across the street from the burned-down home. “I know that the owner had moved and relocated somewhere and left the property there. His children had lived there for a while, then his children left too. And then it just sat. Then the next thing you know, squatter showed up one day.”
