A 72-year-old man from Attleboro was arrested for allegedly starting brush fires in dry conditions, prompting police to conduct an extensive search and use video surveillance.
The brush fires, which occurred in multiple locations such as an Elks Lodge and a reservoir, coincided with an increase in fire incidents across the Northeast due to dry weather.
Authorities are particularly concerned due to the uptick in brush fires across Massachusetts during the dry autumn, leading to a focus on the accused's potential intent.
While the suspect remains silent on the allegations, his connection to multiple fires in Attleboro is under scrutiny as the area faces a fire danger alert.
