Investigator(s):
DeLair
Type of Fire:
Building Fire
Fire Area of Origin:
Laundry area, wash house (laundry)
Fire Cause:
Intentional
Estimated Dollar Loss:
$1,250
Investigator Narrative:
After examination of the fire scene, physical evidence, and witness and firefighter statements, there were two origins. First, in the trash can in the laundry room; and second, in a hole in the sheet rock behind the door of the laundry room. I was unable to determine a competent ignition source, the item first ignited, or the ignition sequence was due to hazards in the garbage. It is possible that the fire was started with a flame held to combustibles in the trash can, as well as to the debris in the hole in the sheet rock. Based on witness statements and investigator observations, this fire was classified as incendiary.
