The Huntington Fire Department worked to extinguish a fire to a vacant apartment building early Friday morning.
The West Virginia State Fire Marshal is investigating this latest fire that it is being called suspicious. It happened on the 100 block of 26th Street about 4 a.m. to a vacant two-story apartment building.
Investigators believe that fire started on the first floor and say the building didn't have any electricity. They believe it was intentionally set and report that there were people seen in the area before the fire started. Investigators say this is the third suspicious fire set in the area in the last week.
The owner of the building reportedly did not have insurance.
