Has Oberlin Firebug Moved to Elyria in Suspect Fires
Reports suggest a firebug shifted operations from Oberlin to Elyria with a series of suspicious blazes last week. A closet fire in a Salvation Army building on West Avenue was quickly contained, with small kerosene-soaked box smothered by a quick-thinking resident and partial door damage noted before a larger blaze could start. Police caution that incipient signs indicate malicious intent amid scattered clues and witness statements.
