Burning down the house

we live in the clayton village area...more and more houses are being built in our area.  when we first moved in, the land in front of us was all trees and in the middle of all the trees there were 2 houses left.  about a year ago the house directly in front of us got torn down along with the trees and now there are lots for sale.  Beside that house in front of us was another house which has been abandoned and boarded up for about a year.  

On Monday I woke up at 2:30 am to sirens of police and fire trucks.  i lied there thinking why does that sound seem so near so i got up to check.  as i entered the guest room, i looked out the window and found the house that was abandoned full of flames.  i went downstairs and straight outside to find my neighbors watching this house go down into flames.  

with all this going on i was not able to go back to sleep until 4:30 am...and i had to go to work that morning.  as i arrived home from work that day, i asked my neighbor what happened and how it started and we all predicted 'sqautters' were in the house and started the fire.

yesterday evening it happened again but at an earlier time.  someone started yet another fire at the back of the house...fire trucks came once again and put the fire out.

as what my neighbor said "what kind of a neighborhood do we live in?"

i wish the city or the person that owns the property would do something.  you're probably thing, why don't they tear the house down.  well, enable to demolish a house, you have to pay to have it demolish and i guess the owner does not want to pay for it.  so i guess he is waiting for someone to buy his lot.  and its a huge lot, i must say.

someone has to do something about this and soooooon!
