Buffalo Creek Firefighters Facing Arson Charges
Fire officials say arson amongst firefighters in West Virginia is a statewide problem this year, with 40 arrests already made. Six people, including four volunteer firefighters in Logan County, are facing charges of arson after some were taken into custody this week, accused of setting fires to vacant properties and a senior center in the Buffalo Creek area between April and June of this year. Three of the firefighters, Orlando Rogers, Crystal Compton and Steve Waldon turned themselves in Thursday, along with Joseph Browning, who is not a firefighter. Two juveniles, one of which was a firefighter, were charged last month.
