SPRINGFIELD — A suspicious afternoon fire Friday on Skitchewaug Trail Road in Springfield engulfed a $150,000 home and burned it to the ground.
The home of Glenn and Jen Boulae was leveled after the fire started at 3:17 p.m.
The Springfield Fire Department received a 911 call for a reported house fire and when they arrived the home was fully involved.
The department requested mutual aid from the West Weathersfield, Chester, Ascutney, Reading, Bellows Falls and Rockingham fire departments. Also, firefighters from the New Hampshire towns of Charleston, Claremont and Walpole assisted.
The fire departments were able to extinguish the fire with no firefighters getting injured.
An investigation showed the cause of the fire to be undetermined or suspicious.
The owners were not home at the time of the fire.
Anyone with information is asked to call state police Detective Sgt. Matthew Nally at 229-9191.
We all know that they set the fire. They were having finacial trouble, apparantly Jennifer had asked for a divorce 3 weeks ago and the business was failing. They sold off everything about a month ago for real cheap.
ReplyDeleteWhen I was watching the fire, every person that came by said that this was suspicious. Their garage was burned to the ground about 2 years ago after the first time they were having finacial troubles. Was kinda funny that within a week they already had a newer, much bigger, shop built. Things that make you go hmmmmm
hOPE YOU NEVER ARE ON A JURY IN YOUR TOWN. THE INFORMATION YOU PUBLISHED ARE WORDS FROM SOMEONE WHO SURELY DOES NOT LIKE THESE FOLKS. THE INSURANCE CARRIER WOULD LOVE YOU-ANYTHING TO KEEP THEM FROM PAYING A CLAIM.
DeleteSIR, YOU SCARE ME.
When you do the kind of work they do, I hope you are scared.
DeleteHow can a fire be undetermined and suspicious at the same time?
ReplyDeletethere can be suspicious circumstances and a yet unknown cause.
DeleteThen the fire is classified as UNDETERMINED and remains under investigation. Fires are not suspicious events can be suspicious.
ReplyDeleteFires can be suspicious and of an undetermined cause.
ReplyDeleteTHE NATIONAL FIRE PROTECTION ASSOCIATION HAS NO SUCH CLASSIFICATION AS SUSPICIOUS IN A FIRE. IT MUST BE CALLED UNDETERMINED. IT CAN REMAIN UNDER INVESTIGATION.SORRY TO RAIN ON YOUR PARADE.
ReplyDeleteSorry to rain on your parade. Nfpa is not an incident reporting.end user. The national.fire incident reporting system. Nfirs does have that classification. Nfpa is just that an association.
DeleteCan someone tell me where this house was on Skitchewaug Trail. I grew up in the house at the bottom of the valley over the creek from Maple Dell and am hoping this wasn't our old house.
ReplyDeleteIt was right next to the interstate overpass. Across the street from the old quarry.
Deletei think someone purposely set the fire just saying!!
