REEDSVILLE The early Saturday morning fire that destroyed the “Biden Barn” on Tea Creek Road in Brown Township is “most likely the result of arson,” said Mifflin County Regional Police Department Chief Andre French.
French said both MCRPD’s fire investigator and Reedsville Fire Company Chief Daniel Aumiller were suspicious that it may be arson and police are still investigating.
“Any investigation being done is running through Mifflin County Regional Police,” Aumiller said. “Reedsville Fire Company is not a part of that investigation besides having on-scene details.”
The fire, which was reported just before 1 a.m. Saturday, destroyed the structure known as the “Biden Barn” on Tea Creek Road. Reedsville Fire Company arrived on scene to find the barn already fully engulfed in flames.
