The Kentucky State Police have determined that Saturday’s apartment fire was arson.
Don Parker, KSP arson investigator, said he has no suspects at this time, but is following up on several leads.
Parker said evidence shows that the fires at the Combs Drive apartments in Wittensville complex were intentionally set. However, he declined to reveal the methodology used.
“I want to keep that between myself and the person who did this,” Parker said.
Emergency crews were dispatched to the apartments, which are owned by Scott Austin, at 5:13 a.m. Saturday.
