What Fire Statistics Show

Those figures provide investigative-workload context, but do not show how many were residential structure fires or how that number has changed in recent years.
A separate overnight house fire on McPherson Avenue left a man with minor injuries, according to FOX 2. That fire broke out around 3 a.m.; the man was taken to a nearby hospital. It was a distinct incident on a different street in the same neighborhood.
Further Details Pending
Authorities have not released the names of residents or officials involved or an estimate of the damage. Hoodline will update this story as more information becomes available.
