For the second time this week, there was a large fire in the Mendenhall Valley and fire officials aren’t ruling out arson.
At just after midnight Friday morning, Capital City Fire/Rescue responded to a fire that began in a storage shed behind a single-wide mobile home at Kodzoff Acres Mobile Home Park, according to a CCFR statement.
In the statement, CCFR Fire Marshal Dan Jager said the exact cause of the fire is yet to be determined, but there were reports of suspicious activity in the area prior to fire responders arriving. Jager said multiple neighbors said in interviews that they heard a loud bang, which some described as more of a thud, and then saw a tall man running through several yards near the mobile home in question.
