Two houses were damaged, but no one was injured in an overnight fire in St. Joseph.
According to St. Joseph Fire Inspector Mindy Andrasevits, the fire started around 11:15 Wednesday night in the upstairs bathroom of what appears to be a vacant house at 2009 Mulberry Street. The fire also caused an estimated $33,000 in damage to an occupied house next door. Four people made it out of that house safely.
Andrasevits says it appears the fire was intentionally set, but the cause is still under investigation. The estimated damage to the house where the fire started is $30,000.
