Firefighters were unable to save yet another building from being burned down this week, a mansion belonging to prominent local researchers. This is believed to be the work of a serial arsonist who remains at large.
“Someone needs to catch this sicko,” said Officer Jennifer Viridian, who is lead on the case. “He’s already burned down a local hospital and a convenience store, not to mention a pretty bad forest fire just outside of town. The mansion this week is just his latest offense. I almost caught him, too, but he escaped under the cover of the smokescreen.”

It is unknown what sparked this criminal’s desire to destroy property like this. Experts have suggested that it may have started as a simple fascination with fire in his youth before evolving into something more sinister. Perhaps his first time starting a fire was an accident, but he found he enjoyed it, stoking the embers of his compulsion into an all-out inferno.
“Rest assured, I’m searching far and wide, and I won’t stop until this fire starter is found and locked up,” Officer Viridian told reporters. “Next time he tries to take a flamethrower to our city, I’ll be there to stop him.”
