   Especially in central area of some neighborhood. Along with are teacher who was Lori King so we decided to visit different part of area in Toledo which included kenilworth and prospect. Were there alot of arson fire, some of the students have never venture in these areas there were little afraid and scare for me it was normal because I have live around these areas and my husband is from Toledo he have grown up around Toledo and play there as child so use to growing in these neighborhood. And he was Firemen and EMT at Central Central Fire Dept. he was Lt. he knew alot about fire and arson he had the knowledge about fire how they were started and what was use to start them. From seeing these houses and understand why people would burn down these house. As a team we would go around and collect information from the resident who live in the area we were cover for the team project, so the audio team was to interview people ask them questions about the houses if they saw anyone the area. Rest of the students was to take picture of the neighborhood and the house. Why taken pictures I saw alot broken bottles and a toy that was burn from the fire and saw trash cans that were destroy by the fire some were melted from the heat of the fire . Another house I saw a child toy truck was left inside house, one resident show us several that he stated he wanted to buy some house were abandoned by the homeowners he claim people would come and tear out electric outlets and destroyed the bathrooms and take wire coppers and sell to scrap company. Some of residents were not sure they wanted give out there name in fear being target if they spoke to use there were afraid giving out informations. From what I learn cover arson for are team project never understand why some would want to destroy the house is it just for fun seeing someone american dream destroy by aronist or just for kicks.
