New Fire Probed in Pennsylvania Area Hit by Arsons
As authorities investigate another fire in a suburban Philadelphia community plagued by a string of arsons, city officials plan to enlist community members to help look for whoever is setting the fires.
Coatesville spokeswoman Kristin Geiger says a town watch organizational meeting is set for 7 p.m. Wednesday at Scott Middle School. She says the program will operate under the direction of law-enforcement personnel.
Special Agent John Hageman of the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives says the latest fire was reported about 9:35 p.m. Tuesday at the rear of a home in Coatesville. It’s the 21st in the area since the start of the year.
Authorities say there is now a $20,000 reward for information leading to arrest and conviction of the arsonist.
