House Fire in Ashland County Turns Out to Be Self Set

 

Ashland County, OH – What was initially reported as a house fire on Township Road 1104 this morning took an unexpected turn when responders discovered the blaze was part of an unconventional demolition effort.

The Ashland County Sheriff’s Office, along with fire departments from Ashland, Savannah, Polk, and Nankin, responded to the scene after reports of a structure fire. Upon arrival, authorities found that the fire had been intentionally set by a group of Amish men who were demolishing the house and had allegedly used fire as a quick method to remove the structure.

Officials have confirmed the fire is under investigation. Citations are expected to be issued by local authorities, and a report will be sent to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) for potential additional charges related to environmental violations.

Local authorities have reminded the public of the importance of following proper procedures and obtaining permits for demolitions. Updates on this case, including potential penalties, are expected as the investigation unfolds.

No injuries have been reported in connection with the incident.
