Arsonist fires in small town Pennsylvania. Population 2300 or so.
The series of fires seem to have started at this point in time.
This fire was set to destroy the Wynn Ann Restaurant and from there, it expanded to the adjoining properties.
There have been many since, and quite a few believed to be part of intentionally set fires.
- Saturday, April 24: About 3 a.m., a fire destroyed the former Wynn-Ann restaurant, located at 100 Sunbury St., and spread to 104 and 106 Sunbury St., and 14-16 N. Front St., displacing four people
- Monday, April 26: About 4:30 a.m., a fire was started at the rear of 321 N. Front St. severely damaged 323, 321 and 319 N. Front St., and a home at 317 N. Front St. sustained minimal damage, leaving 10 homeless
- Tuesday, June, 22: About 2:30 a.m., a decorative bunting on the front porch of a home at 122 S. Third St. was set on fire
- Wednesday, June 23: About 4:30 a.m., two dumpsters were lit on fire behind Family Dollar in the Norwegian Township shopping center
- At a July meeting of the Minersville Borough Council, police Chief Michael Combs said that there had been several attempted arsons in the borough in the previous months, mostly in the early morning on weekends, where someone tried to set fire to trash cans and things collected on side or back porch areas.
