4:17 A Great Barrington, Massachusetts man is facing arson, insurance fraud and other charges after a fire at his business earlier this month. The Great Barrington Fire Department responded to the fire at the old Wonderful Things gift shop building at 232 Stockbridge Road on the evening of July 7th. “It was a challenging fire in an old building. We had fire on multiple floors on arrival, which is very manpower intensive, particularly in an old building where fire spreads very fast in old construction with many void spaces- So it was great job by our firefighters to knock the fire down and honestly preserve most of the building, said Fire Chief Charles Burger. We called in the State Fire Marshal s Office to investigate. And they, along with the Great Barrington Police Department, investigated the fire and yesterday they made an arrest of Harry Sano, the owner of the building for arson.”
