In a suburban neighborhood of Akron, Ohio, residents were savoring the warm spring days in 2017. Homes sitting close together showcased barbecues, front-porch chats, and children playing in the streets. But tragedy was about to strike when, in the early hours of the morning, numerous 911 calls came flooding in about a raging fire about to claim the lives of the Boggs family - 2 parents and five children. And this wasn’t the first fire to kill on that very block. Now the whole neighborhood was questioning why, and if their home would be next.
