“There’s a fire every day in Ensley, it seems,” said a neighbor who declined to identify herself.
The Birmingham Fire Department confirms six “set fires” in Ensley since January 1st. Since last year, that number reached 30.
“We don’t know if it’s another arsonist, accidentally set or someone trying to get rid of old property,” Captain Bryan Harrell said about the most recent fires.
Harrell urged people who live in the community to be watchful and call if they see anyone suspicious near abandoned houses.
