Burning Down The House… And It Is Not Arson

Burning-down-the-houseThe firefighters in Supply, North Carolina are not thrilled this week. They had to respond to a home fire that was intentionally set and put it out. And so far they have not found anything to charge the person who set the fire with.

You would figure that burning down a house would get an arson charge, but the homeowner was cleared of that. He intentionally set the fire, but is not planning on filing an insurance claim and admitted to setting the fire.

Oh, and instead of getting an expensive and time consuming demolition permit, he took care of leveling the 1 story home himself.

Needless to say the local fire department is not pleased. They are referring the case to the N.C. Department of Environment and Natural Resources’ Division of Air Quality. Guess they are looking to see if they can get him on a pollution statute.

Firefighters responded to a blaze Monday night in Supply after a homeowner decided to destroy a house he’d abandoned.

The small, single-story home at 405 Big Macedonia Road was vacant, and no one was injured in the incident.

Brunswick County Fire Marshal Scott Garner said the intentionally set fire isn’t arson because the homeowner wasn’t committing insurance fraud and admitted setting the fire.
