A string of abandoned house fires in Huntington have neighbors worried.

Firefighters were called to a house fire early Sunday morning in the 800 block of 26th street.

Residents say this is the fourth house to burn in the past several months.

Some say they want to start a neighborhood watch group to catch the culprit.

Others say they are worried their house may catch fire because they are so close together.

Some people in the neighborhood say they are afraid to go to sleep at night.

Anyone with information is asked to call the State Fire Marshal's office.

The fire is under investigation.
