Police are investigating two fires within 15 minutes of each other in the same neighborhood hit hard by a string of unsolved arsons last year. Officials say a 12-foot boat was set on fire around 1 a.m. in the 3500 block of I St. NE and crews were able to quickly put that out. Less than a mile away, firefighters were called to the 1200 block of 43rd St NE where a house was ablaze.
