GOULDSBORO, Pa. — A suspicious fire destroyed a home in Wayne County Saturday afternoon.
Crews were called to the home along the 500 block of Main Street just after 2 p.m.
According to a state police fire marshal, the fire is considered suspicious, and a game warden was on scene searching the area for a person of interest.
This is the third fire along Main Street this week. The previous fires were ruled arson, and police are still searching for the person responsible.
Residents in Lehigh Township and the surrounding areas are fearing for their safety following the fires.
"It's very scary for all of us right now. When the first one happened three or four days ago, we were in a little bit of shock and alerted our systems. When the second one went down in Gouldsboro the night before last, it was like even scarier, and now this in broad daylight. This is something we're going to have to deal with," said Joseph Spott.
While state police say this fire is considered suspicious, they have not said if it is connected to the two arsons that happened earlier this week.
There is no word yet if police have located a suspect.
