Ciara VanBuren was on the couch with her 4-year old daughter in the next room and 13-year-old upstairs when she smelled something burning. <\/p>\n

She looked out the window of her Franklinville home a few moments later and saw smoke coming from her neighbor\u2019s window. She heard pounding on the door as neighbors and firefighters checked for anybody inside. In the moments that it took to get outside with her daughters, the front porch had collapsed, with the blaze killing a 69-year-old man and prompting charges for the woman accused of setting it.<\/p>\n

Natasha Teague, 38, has been arrested and charged withmurder and arson, among other offenses, for allegedly setting the Monday fire, police said Wednesday. Teague had been a frequent presence in the neighborhood over the past year, said neighbors, who said they believed she knew the fire victim\u2019s brother. <\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Two fires were started on the block that day. In the early morning, police were called to the 3600 block of Percy Street after a small fire was started on the porch, according to the Philadelphia Fire Department. The fire department was not called, and no one was arrested. In the early afternoon, police say,Teague started the second fire that would severely damage five homes and kill Barry Turner. <\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

A preliminary hearing for Teague is scheduled for July 13. She remained in custody Thursday and no attorney was listed in court records.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Turner, 69, grew up in the area and came back to live with his brother, neighbors said. Other residents have described Turner as having been a straight-A student in school, said James Martinez, a 21-year-old who<\/b> was in the shower when his house started to burn down andsaid he didn\u2019t know Turner well. <\/p>\n

Martinez sat by the burned porch, sighing as he looked toward to the homes that were destroyed. \u201cWe are missing half a block.\u201d <\/p>\n

The neighborssaid they were saddened and scared by the tragedy. Kendra Olen, who lives a few houses down from the fire with her 66-year-old mother and 22-year-old daughter, said she has not been able to sleep since the fire. <\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s from fear,\u201d she said. Firefightersknocked down the front door to rescue her mother, and they had to install fans in the house to get rid of the smoke. <\/p>\n

<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

This is the second incident of arson on the block in less than a month, according to the fire department. On May 23, a Molotov cocktail was thrown into an unoccupied house. No other houses were affected. Before these two incidents, neighbors could not remember a fire starting on their block in the last decades.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

The arsons concern and confuse neighbors who previously thought of their block as an idyllic place. <\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Days after the fire\u2014 a clear blue sky and cool breeze \u2014 many resident sat on their porches as they usually do. Jose Vazquez sat comfortably, wearing a blue and white striped linen shirt, as he looked out to the row of burned houses. <\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

\u201cAlmost everyone knows me even if I forget their names,\u201d laughed Vazquez, who is 85, has lived in the neighborhood for decades, and does not plan on moving.<\/p>\n
