Suspicious Fires Destroy 3 Fayetteville Houses
Suspicious Fires Destroy 3 Fayetteville Houses

Investigators said fires that hit three houses on the same street in Fayetteville were intentionally set.

Calls about the fires at three houses on Rivercliff Road came in around 2:52 a.m. Saturday. Thirteen fire crews labored until at least 5 a.m. to get the fires under control.

Five police officers also responded. No injuries were reported, but the houses were destroyed by the flames.

All three two-story houses were brand new, unoccupied and owned by the same person, investigators said. Two of the houses were beside each other, and the third was six houses down.

Investigators have not yet released the cause of the fires, but said the blazes were suspicious and intentionally set.

I used to live in the neighborhood, The houses were built by the same guy. when we moved, there were many that hadnt sold yet. We thought he was asking too much for them.

Sprinklers won't work if they aren't hooked up to a water supply...been there seen that on an industrial level, sprinklers were installed but had not been activated, building was due to open in less than 2 weeks, total loss.

These were brand new homes and may or may not have had water hooked up and turned on.

Owner or someone wanting revenge on the owner did it.

I am sure that SBI will do an arson investigation. Someone did it whoever it was. They are gonna focus on the owner first and see what kind of insurance he had on them.

wow what a coincidence. sure hope they catch the person that did this to that poor fella, imagine that all 3 of his unoccupied, brand new homes burning down. sad xmas for him!
