Arson is being blamed for three house fires Sunday night in Beaver Falls that forced a woman to jump to safety. Fire Chief Mark Stowe spoke with Beaver County Radio Newsman Pat Septak this morning. He tells us that a woman in the home where the fire started escaped the flames by jumping from a second-floor window onto a porch roof…

He says the initial fire started around 10 p.m. on the porch of one home before flames spread to two other…in the 800 block of 26th street:

We asked Chief Stowe if there were any serious injuries…

We asked Chief Stowe if there are any clues he could share with us that led them to believe it was arson…

He says a total of three homes were heavily damaged…

The fire marshal is investigating, as well as the city’s investigator and police department to try to determine who is the blame for this blaze.
