The cause of the fire that tore through a vacant house on Kensington Avenue late Thursday night is under criminal investigation, Fire Marshal Steve Trella said Friday.
It was the fourth major fire in a vacant building within roughly a one-mile radius since May, but fire officials say the latest blaze did not fit the same pattern as the other three. Vacant properties, however, continue to be a concern, officials said.
Shortly after 2 p.m., firefighters were called to 104 Lewis Ave. on a report of smoke coming from the building. Within minutes, the light smoke turned to thick black smoke as the fire tore through the building.
