Fire at military offices termed possible arson

Arson is suspected as the cause of an Aug. 15 fire at the U.S. Armed Forces Recruiting Station on Regent Park Boulevard in West Asheville, officials said.

Asheville Arson Investigator Buddy Thompson has ruled out accidental causes. Based on his assessment, the Asheville-Buncombe Arson ATask Force will conduct further investigation into the cause and motive behind the fire.

City fire fighters responded to 16 Regent Park about 7 a.m. to find heavy smoke throughout the building. Fire fighters quickly located the fire in a storage closet in the U.S. Marine Recruiting Offices.
Those with information on the fire are asked to call Thomspon as (828) 777-8931.
