Boone fires believed suspicious

Boone County investigators believe arson is the cause of two separate fires early Thursday morning which destroyed two vehicles.

Firemen responded to the calls which came in five-minutes apart shortly before 2:00am on Hewett Creek off Route 17.  One fire destroyed a handicap accessible Boone County School bus.  The other fire destroyed a pickup truck.  Deputies say the windows of a third vehicle were also broken.

Authorities are asking anyone with information to call the Boone County 911 304-369-9913 or the state Arson Hotline at 1-800-233-FIRE.
