House Fire Cause: Could Be Arson

Arson is not being ruled out as the cause of a fire that consumed a Traphill home last Friday. A report released by fire investigator Nick Hamby says the house, which was reported on fire around 1 a-m that day, was engulfed in flame when Traphill firefighters arrived. by the time it was out, the fire had consumed nearly all of the main floor and the roof of the home. The extreme amount of damage made it nearly impossible to tell what might have started the fire, which caused 200-thousand dollars worth of damage. The origin of the fire is listed as undetermined, but arson is not being ruled out because of a similar fire that was extinguished September 10th before it could get much hold on the house. The fire report lists no suspects.
