Hundreds pack arson meeting, arson count 14

Posted by Geeky Swedes on November 11th, 2009

Over 600 people packed a public meeting at Phinney Ridge Lutheran Church to hear the latest on a terrifying string of arsons in the Greenwood neighborhood. To underline the seriousness of the meeting, at one point the Fire Marshal briefed the crowd on how to evacuate in case the arsonist lit the church on fire.

Officials told worried neighbors they’re doing everything they can to catch the arsonist, who could be responsible for as many as 14 fires, not 10 as previously thought. PhinneyWood attended the meeting and posted a report.
