Springfield fire investigators are seeking the public’s help in solving arson fires that were set last week at two Springfield schools.
Surveillance video shows a man and woman starting fires outside Washington Middle School in the early morning hours of December 8th. One of the fires was started near a gas main. There was also a fire started outside Matheny-Withrow Elementary School that morning, but no surveillance video of that attempt is available.
The fires caused an estimated $3,000 damage. Anyone with information about the fires is asked to call Sangamon-Menard Crimestoppers at 217-788-8427.
