Eight children were inside the house when the incident took place.
CLEVELAND — Porchea Cook is a Cleveland mother who still can't fathom why three juveniles would attempt to set her Nathaniel Avenue home on fire, while she and eight children were inside the house.
“I opened up the door and came down and it was on fire, but I didn’t think that somebody set the house on fire, I just thought that maybe it was like a wire," Cook said. “And you could see it burning, it’s in flames.” “Arson is a serious crime, it’s a first degree felony if it’s aggravated arson, which is an intentionally set fire to an occupied structure," Norman said. “We had a dozen fire fatalities in the city last year, we‘ve already lost six people to fire this year, so it’s something we take very seriously.”
“It identifies people who are at risk for setting these fires, children who are having this type of behavior," Norman said."It’s a program that we work with so they can get some information, get some training, and realize the severity of their behavior."
