Arson Investigated at a Chase Oaks House

An unoccupied house on the 9200 block of Peuplier in the Chase Oaks subdivision was set afire 26 July.  Firefighters arrived at about 9:00 that Monday morning to discover two small fires on the first floor of the two story house.  An arson investigator was summoned due to the suspicious nature of the fire.   

According to an SAPD report the owner of the house near New Guilbeau Rd moved out four years ago. The arson investigator learned kids were observed running from the scene but she was apparently unable to develop the lead.

The fire department dispatched a ladder truck and three engines.  Most firefighters were on location for about 90 minutes. SAFD estimated $10,000 in damages, largely due to smoke.  Nobody was injured.
