Newark police are searching for a man suspected of setting fire to a two-story residential building on the 100 block of South 11th Street on Friday, authorities said Sunday.
Firefighters responded about 11 a.m. Friday to a fire that turned into a three-alarm blaze at the building, which spread to two adjacent homes and displaced a family with four children. A 15-year-old boy was treated for smoke inhalation and is in stable condition, officials said.
