Three suspicious house fires are under investigation in Algonac. The St. Clair County Sheriff’s Office Fire Investigation Unit is looking at three fires that are deemed suspicious in nature, according to a statement released on March 18.
The first fire occurred on March 2 in the 2500 block of St. Clair River Drive. The second fire was in the 100 block of Algona. The third fire was on March 15th in the 1200 block of St. Clair Boulevard. The St. Clair County Sheriff’s Department reports that the fires required the Algonac Fire Department to be called with assistance from Clay Township, Ira Township, and Marine City Fire Departments. No injuries were reported, and the homes were all vacant.
Intentionally setting a fire, even in a vacant home is a felony, and can result in fines and jail time, if convicted. Anyone with any information regarding the fires is asked to contact Detective Steve Rickert with the Sheriff’s Office at (810) 987-1731.
