String Of Suspicious Fires Hits Vacant Homes In One Upstate NY Town

In New York State, The Plattsburgh Press Republican reports:

• "A vacant house on The Portage in Ticonderoga burned to the ground early Thursday in what authorities believe was the third in a string of deliberately set fires. “They’ve all been vacant houses, at this point. But the next one could be occupied,” [said a police spokesperson]."

Of the three, at least one was in foreclosure; no word as to the foreclosure status of the other two, although they were currently being offered for sale. For more, see Ticonderoga house fire was third arson (So far only unoccupied homes have been burned). zebra
