The smell of smoke still lingers in a southside neighborhood officials say was struck by an arsonist early this morning.

Terre Haute Fire Department is investigating the fire that happened at around 3:30 a.m.  at 1501 S. 18th St. Crews were dispatched to the scene after someone called to report heavy smoke and flames seen coming from the rear of the home. No one was injured.

The suspicious fire comes just after officials ruled two earlier vacant house fires as arson on the north side earlier in the week.
