Arson Suspected After Rural Barns Burn in Frederick County
A string of four fires struck Ballenger Creek Pike farms and a National Park Service site on Md 355 from Tuesday night into Wednesday dawn. Investigators call the blazes suspicious while the Maryland State Fire Marshal’s Office conducts a thorough probe to determine causes. Volunteers, police, and fire teams from multiple agencies fought the fires, with arson figures statewide up 18 percent from last year. Residents are urged to secure outbuildings and report suspicious activity to police.
