Abandoned Chicken House Fire is Fire # 21 !!

An abandoned chicken house in New Church, Virginia was reported on fire around 2:30 Saturday morning.

New Church, Pocomoke City, Atlantic, Bloxom fire companies battled the fire in the high winds but had the blaze under control and had returned to their stations by 5:31 A.M. 

On November 22 at 8:30 PM  (Thanksgiving Day)  fire was reported in an abandoned structure on Beacon Road in Melfa very near the Fire Training Center.  The building was fully involved when fire companies arrived.  According to a report from WTKR NEWS the person/persons entered from the back of this abandoned structure so they could not be seen from Beacon Road.

 The  Virginia State police and local fire investigators believe someone in Accomack County has a suspicion who is behind these fires and the person(s) responsible may  likely be  carrying around gasoline cans, and has maybe even at some point  burned himself starting these fires.

Since November 12, 2012 Accomack County fire companies have battled  21 blazes that have been set  mostly in abandoned structures.
