Nazareth porch fire treated as arson

FROM THE EXPRESS TIMES

A fire set on Friday night at a Nazareth home is being investigated as an arson, police said this afternoon.

Police said someone at about 8:45 p.m. set a flower pot on fire on the front porch of a home in the 100 block of North Green Street. The fire caused minimal damage to the siding of the house.

Chief Thomas Trachta said no one was injured and no arrests have been made.

In September, Nazareth police responded to a similar set of small fires nearby at 34 N. Green St., which were also being investigated as arson.

Trachta did not confirm any connection between the two fires and could only say that both are still under investigation.

Police ask anyone who saw anything suspicious on North Green Street to call Nazareth police at 610-759-9575.
