An arson keeps Buffalo firefighters busy early Sunday morning. Flames erupted in a house on Strauss Street around 1:00 a.m. Firefighters entered the vacant house to find several fires on the first floor, and another fire on the second floor. They were able to knock down the fires fairly quickly, but investigators don't think this is the first time firefighters have been called to this particular spot for an arson.

"Investigators are here now. It appears there was a fire here previously...not sure how long ago. It looks like some work was being done to rehab the building," says Buffalo Fire Department Division Chief Thomas Ashe.
