Dawn Hairabedian wept yesterday as she watched the South Toledo multiunit residence she lived in burn along with six neighboring houses.

“I don’t have nothing left,” the 41-year-old woman said as water and ash sprinkled down on her in the 2400 block of Broadway.

Another half-dozen houses across the street and several city fire trucks sustained heat damage from a three-alarm blaze that fire authorities said began in the rear of a residence occupied by Claudia Vercellotti, local co-coordinator of Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests.

The fire started in the rear of her 2425 Broadway home. She was not home, and the cause of the fire is undetermined and remains under investigation, Fire Investigator Andre Tiggs said.
