Last night we were dispatched to a house fire at the above address. Crews arrived and found fire in
a basement bedroom that was used as a library. All occupants got out safely and there were no
injuries. The family was assisted by the Red Cross to find a place to stay as the house is
uninhabitable. The family was renting the house due to a previous fire in Maplewood. I have already
contact the Rental Division about the un-licensed rental and will be following up with them.
The broken windows were boarded up last night and the heat was able to remain on in the house.
I met with the homeowner this morning and am waiting to hear from his insurance adjuster to
continue my investigation. Preliminary investigation points to a possible juvenile fire setter problem. I
am currently working with the Maplewood Fire Marshal and the State Fire Marshal Youth Fire
Prevention Intervention Specialist in the continuing investigation process. More family interviews are
planned after more information is gathered.
If you have questions concerning this fire, please contact me at x3621.
