ROXBURY — State Police are investigating a fire they said was “intentionally set” at the Roxbury fire department Saturday evening.
State police spokesman Trooper First Class Pedro Muniz said the agency’s Fire and Explosion Investigation Unit was requested by the town’s fire marshal to assist the investigation into the blaze.
“There were no reported injuries. This incident is still in the beginning stages of investigation. Once we receive more information we will disseminate it appropriately,” Muniz said in an email Saturday.
Television station WFSB Channel 3 in Hartford reported authorities are searching for a man throwing Molotov cocktails at emergency medical services. Citing Old Saybrook Police Chief Michael Spera, the outlet reported a man threw one of the incendiary devices on the ground at Hunters Ambulance Headquarters on Saturday, before targeting ambulances in Meriden and Roxbury.
