Third Suspected Arson Fire In 3 Days

Local Accomack Fire Companies along with Virginia State Police Fire Investigators and Accomack County Sheriff's Department can't seem to get a break from the recent suspected arsons that have occurred over the weekend.

Thursday evening a fire broke out in an abandoned store in Pungoteague.  Friday evening companies were alerted to a fire in an airplane hangar on Locustville Road in Onley, Virginia.

Saturday evening (Feb.2) at 10:59 Saturday night another abandoned structure fire was reported in a barn on Foxgrove Road, just before Fisher's Corner, in Parksley.

Parksley, Bloxom, Tasley and Onley responded to the fire. Minor damage was reported to the structure and Virginia State Police believe this fire to be a result of arson also.

 A $5000 reward is STILL being offered for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the person or persons responsible for the fires. Contact the Virginia State Police or the Accomack County Sheriff's Department.

If  you  have ANY information call:
 1-800-582-8350 or (757) 424-6820
 Accomack County Sheriff's Office at (757) 787-1131.
