On of the many cases of suspicious house fires in Schenectady started on Memorial Day weekend has been traced to a teen who has been "charged with arson... and the fire department is hoping a $500 reward will provide clues to other suspicious fires...". the 15 year old was arrested on Tuesday and faced numerous charges, with "two counts of fourth-degree arson, [and] a felony". So far, officials still expect more arsonists to exist. They are posting a $500 reward for clues on the suspects.
Fire Chief Michael Dellarocco said on Tuesday, "'An arsonist doesn't care about the life of a citizen or a firefighter so
people should make sure they have a working smoke detector and be aware
of what is going on in their neighborhood'". They are still advising people to be wary of suspicious activity in their neighborhoods.
There are many things that could cause instability in teens, such as issues with parents, and with others. More should definitely be done about things like this to get to the root of the problem, and to protect not only the teens but others as well.
