Vacant Crawford Avenue home burns


New Castle News

New Castle’s Lower East Side was the scene of another suspicious fire early Saturday.

The blaze broke out about 2:30 a.m. in a vacant home at 229 N. Crawford Ave. New Castle Police officer David Viggiano, the city’s fire marshal, was called to investigate.

Two nights earlier, another Lower East Side fire at 306 1/2 Pine St. left a family homeless, just three weeks after a woman and her five children had moved into it. Authorities called that blaze suspicious as well.

Prior to Saturday’s blaze, there had been 46 confirmed arsons and eight undetermined fires in the area over the last several months.
