hoping for changes
neighborhood and now deputies want to know who's behind it all. Neighbors say it sounded like a bomb exploded inside the house the windows blew out and the front door came off its hinges. One might think it was just a house fire, but firefighters say spray-paint on the outside of the house raised suspicions the fire was set intentionally.

On the garage door were obscenities toward the Islam religion and Allah. Firefighters called in the State Fire Marshall who confirmed the fire was arson. According to a preliminary report, there were 10 different spots inside the home where accelerants were used, accelerants could be anything from gasoline to alcohol. Firefighters also found a gas can in the kitchen.

The owner was out of town for the weekend and was not home when the fire broke out but we were there Monday when he saw the charred remains of his home for the first time, “this is stupid. This is crazy, oh man,” says victim Hasib Sejfovic. "We’re really hoping its kids, unsupervised teenagers and not ignorant adults," says neighbor Jenny Camacho.

The Sheriff's Office is working to figure out who is responsible. Firefighters say they took extra care to preserve all the evidence at the scene hoping deputies will at least find a footprint or maybe a fingerprint. The official report as to the exact cause of the fire will be released later this week.
