Arsonist in Portland Maine nearly kills two of my Neighbors

Last night I was reminded of why Jess and I are moving. At two in the morning firetruck lights and smoke woke jess who in turn woke me up. Two doors up the second floor of an apartment building was engulfed in smoke and fire. The very brave firefighters put it out quickly... We never have really thought about how brave they are but seeing them climb up narrow ladders three stories high into smoke struck a chord.
A cat died, two were hospitalized, and the whole second floor of the apartment was ruined. The people who lived inside will have to be in shelters for a good long time. It looks like the two other fires started last night minutes before on park street were related. They all were started in the main doorways of the would be victems homes. There were cameras on park street hopefully this bastard is put away for a long time. It appears they were out to do some damage to the people inside the buildings not just the buildings themselves.
