Police investigate Lyndon barn fire as possible arson
LYNDON, Vt. (ABC22/FOX44) – Authorities suspect a fire that burned a Lyndon barn to the ground early Saturday may have been intentionally set.
Lyndon firefighters arrived just before 6:30 a.m. to find a barn at Greenpoint Lane and Grimes Road so consumed by fire that they made no attempt to put it out, they told Vermont State Police.
The state's Public Safety Fire & Explosion Investigation Unit was called to the scene. Troopers say the fire is considered 'suspicious at this time' and the investigation will continue.
The barn was used as storage space at the time and did not house any livestock.
Anyone with information is asked to call Detective Sgt. James Wright at the state police's St. Johnsbury Barracks at 802-748-3111, leave an anonymous tip online at or contact the Vermont Arson Tip Award Program hotline at 1-800-32-ARSON (1-800-322-7766). The program is offering a reward of up to $5,000 for tips leading to an arrest in this case.
