Arson Suspected In Toler
KENTUCKY...
A rash of fires at Toler, Kentucky appear to be the result of arson. Belfry Volunteer Fire Department Chief Nee Jackson said his department was called out five times between Friday and Sunday evening. The first call came Friday, May 28, about an outbuilding on the property of Donna Dotson. That structure was a complete loss,
They were called again early Saturday morning, May 29, when the shed rekindled, and again Saturday evening when a fire threatened Dotson’s home and a vacant house adjacent to her home. The vacant house belongs to Delores Hatfield. An arson investigator with the Kentucky State Police, said the front porch of the vacant house and the side of Dotson’s home sustained damage from that blaze. The BVFD was called to the area again Monday, May 31 to fight a fire at the vacant house. The fire was contained to that building. An arson investigator said evidence left little doubt the fires were the result of arson.
