DEPARTMENT SAYS JACKSONBURG-AREA FIRE WAS INTENTIONALLY SET

(Wayne County, IN)--A house was fully involved in fire at around noon on Saturday just outside Jacksonburg in Wayne County.  Multiple units responded and were told en route that it was a controlled burn.  One of those agencies was the Milton-Washington Township Volunteer Fire Department.  They indicated afterward that burning an entire house is not a controlled burn and is not legal, especially without notifying the fire department.  There were no injuries to the homeowners or first responders.  Is does not appear that any criminal charges have been filed yet.
