Gainesville Fire Rescue Responds to Two Fires at Same Location
 

Gainesville Fire Rescue Responds to Two Fires at Same Location

Published February 5th, 2013

GAINESVILLE- The flurry of activity from city fire personnel  has neighbors in one  Gainesville community on edge.
 

 

Both neighbors and fire officials don’t know what caused the fire but they have a feeling they know who may be behind it all.
 

 

Apartment Resident, Gina Davis says, “It’s just suspicious period so...”

 

Firefighters are no strangers to responding to residential fires but when two separate fires break out in the same location within hours of each other, they agree that something is off.

 

But when fire personnel arrived the fire was completely gone but before they could leave their work wasn’t done, there was another fire upstairs.

 

 

Fire Investigators and Neighbors are all unsure by what may have caused the second fire and what the tenant may have to do with it.

 

 

Davis says, “For him to be there with no lights, I don’t know what the reasoning but there could be a possibility that he might be going through an eviction or a moving out.”
 

Both fires occurred in New Horizons II, a complex licensed by Meridian Behavioral Healthcare.

 

The building did suffer some damage as a result of the second fire, but the laundry room is still in working condition.
