Third arson suspected at vacant Salisbury building
The Maryland State Fire Marshal's Office is investigating the third case of arson in the last two years at a vacant apartment building in Salisbury.
On May 2, the Salisbury Fire Department responded to a structure fire at 616 E. Church St. in Salisbury, a Maryland State Fire Marshal's Office release said.
The fire started on the second floor of the vacant two-story apartment building and was noticed by a passerby. It took five minutes to control, and the preliminary cause is incendiary or arson.
This building has had two previous fires in it, one taking place in Jan. 2022 and another in June of the same year. Both of those fires were also determined to be arson.
The fire marshal' office is asking the public's assistance in helping to identify who is responsible for setting the fires. Callers may remain anonymous and can contact deputy state fire marshals with any information at 410-713-3780.
