Bristol Township Police and Fire Marshal Kevin Dippolito are looking for clues to who intentionally tried to burn down an occupied house on Yellowood Drive . According to Dippolito, three fires were set inside of a 24 hour time span.
The first was at 3:15 PM on Tuesday. when an exterior wall to a carport wall was damaged in what is being called arson. Just a few hours later, two different fires were set inside the carport, that burned themselves out without causing a lot of damage. The resident was home at that time.
At about 1:30 AM fire crews were called back to the same house. This time, they had heavy fire showing from the car port, and some of the fire extended into the house. No one was home at the time and there were no injuries.
The Yellowwood section has only one way in and out. This caused havoc with neighbors that needed to leave for work. The entire road was taken up by fire trucks that were needed to put out the fire. Detectives will be looking for security camera footage in hopes that it could have captured something.
