Battle Creek Fire Crews Battle Arsons

Posted

BATTLE CREEK, Mich. — A rash of fires early Monday are all suspected of being arsons, two of which damaged buildings.

Crews from the Battle Creek Fire Department put out five suspicious fires beginning around 2 a.m. August 5.

Authorities got reports of a man setting fires, but a police dog lost the scent after a few blocks.

The dumpster fire was hot enough to damage a building, while the rest of the fires were set in trash cans. One of those fires damaged the exterior of a vacant home.
