For Immediate Release
On March 3, 2011 at 12:38 a.m., the Beaufort County Sheriff's Office received a report of a fire at an abandoned residence in the 700 block of Bay City Road in Aurora, NC. The Aurora Volunteer Fire Department responded and extinguished the blaze. The Fire Department notified the Sheriff's Office that the fire was suspicious and a Deputy was dispatched to secure the scene.
At 5:21 a.m., the Sheriff's Office received a report of a strong gas smell at the Long Acre Community Building located at 23177 Highway 32 North in Plymouth, NC. The Pinetown Volunteer Fire Department responded to the scene and discovered an open gas line and burned items inside the building.
The North Carolina State Bureau of Investigation has been called in to process the fire scenes. Both fires are under investigation and are suspected arsons at this time. Investigators are looking into the possibility that these fires may be related to eight other arsons in Beaufort County in the previous two weeks. Additional information will be released when available.
