State police in Greensburg are seeking information regarding who set a fire to three modular homes early Sunday morning in Hempfield Township.
The 5:27 a.m. fire occurred at Greensburg Mobile Home Mart, Route 119 southbound.
The fire started in a modular home up for sale, spread to a second one and began to burn a third, said Kim Swan, a firefighter for Midway St. Clair Volunteer Fire Department.
She said two modular homes were destroyed. A state police fire marshal made the arson ruling yesterday. The loss was estimated at $100,000.
The state police barracks can be reached at 724-832-3288.
It's a short little article, more than likely a press-release asked by the state police for the trib-review to publish. But it's got a who (the state police), a what (looking for information), where (Hempfield Township), When (Sunday morning), why (so they can arrest an arsonist or find out if it was an accident), and how (by calling the state police). If a follow up to this were printed, it more than likely would include some reference to this. Plus, with the information given, it happened in our backyard which means it deserves extra attention.
