Fire Intentionally Set 'Without a Doubt'

Bradford City Fire Department Lt. Matt Rettger confirms that the person who set the fire at Tops Market this morning is in custody.

He said Tops employees apprehended the suspect after he went back into he store after it re-opened at around 1 p.m.

Rettger said “it was an intentionally set fire – without a doubt.”

The fire was started at around 10 a.m. in a rack of uninflated Mylar balloons, and the store had to be closed because of the smoke and the chemicals in the air from the Mylar.

Representatives from the State Department of Agriculture and Tops corporate office were called to the scene.

Damage is estimated at $10,000.

We’re waiting for a call from Bradford City Police to be returned so we can pass along more information.
