Ex-firefighter suspected in another fire in W.Va.

Ex-firefighter suspected in another fire in W.Va.

MOUNDSVILLE, W.Va. -- A former Marshall County volunteer firefighter facing arson charges is back behind bars after a house next door to his residence was torched.

Joshua Wayne Williams' bond was revoked yesterday after Marshall County Prosecutor Jeff Cramer filed an affidavit saying there is probable cause to believe Mr. Williams set the latest fire.

Last month, the 27-year-old ex-firefighter was charged with setting five fires at the Wilson Trailer Court in Moundsville.

Mr. Cramer says the fire this week, in which a dog was killed, closely resembled the Wilson Trailer Court fires.

Mr. Williams is a former member of the Washington Lands Volunteer Fire Department.
