Arson suspected after building goes up in flames in Decatur County

Firefighters believe someone intentionally started a structure fire in Decatur County on Sunday night. Firefighters found the clubhouse building in Lake McCoy fully engulfed when they arrived on the scene around 10:30 p.m.

Four different departments responded and the fire was brought under control about two hours later. The Greensburg Fire Department believes the cause is arson and it isnโ€™t the first time in the area.

โ€œThis is not the first, second, or third time a fire at Lake McCoy wasnโ€™t an accident. Firefighters risk their lives and safety every time one of these properties is illegally burned. This needs to stop before someone gets hurt or worse,โ€ said Greensburg Fire Chief Nathan Stoermer.
