Sunday morning, another house fire occurred in the same neighborhood Just blocks away leaving neighbors worried about their own safety. 

"We had a fire in this neighborhood early Sunday morning a couple of streets over. A family of eight lost everything, so we're really kind of on edge here right now with fires and having this so close to our house it's obviously pretty scary," said neighbor David Crow. 

No one was at home at the time of the fire.
