A fifth house received minor damage from the heat of the fire, according to a Kalamazoo Department of Public Safety news release.
Justin Kollar ✔ @kollarjustin Five structures in total are considered total losses this morning. Officials say the fire started in a home that was vacant, which is why they are calling it suspicious.
A firefighter was treated for heat exhaustion. No one else was hurt.
Justin Kollar ✔ @kollarjustin Take a look at the devastation left behind after a suspicious fire destroyed five homes, (four vacant) in Kalamazoo late last night. Several @KalPublicSafety officers remain on scene this morning monitoring any flare ups. The North Street fire is only a few blocks from where another fire broke out at a vacant building early Tuesday on Paterson Street between Douglas and Staples avenues. That fire was labeled suspicious. It is too early to draw a connection between the fires.
