St. Pete: Home fire now investigated as arson

ST. PETERSBURG - A fire at a home at 4437 17th Avenue S that authorities initially thought was an accident is now being investigated as arson.

Lt. Rick Feinberg of St. Petersburg Fire & Rescue said authorities initially thought the February fire was sparked by an iron. But as authorities continued investigating, they changed their assessment, Feinberg said.
