Arson in Spring Valley?
11/10/2021 (Permalink)
My neighbor’s garage caught on fire while they were out. Fortunately, we were home and saw the smoke and called the fire department. Another neighbor’s camera system captured a person on a bike riding off of the property a few moments before the fire broke out. The fire department determined the cause of the fire as arson.
