The Garden City Fire Department says a house fire from August 18 is believed to have been a case of arson.
Crews were called to the 1600 block A Street around 5 in the morning. Garden City police had arrived shortly before that, and reported the fire had been extinguished. A fire investigator was called after firefighters smelled accelerant and noticed suspicious smoke marking.
The investigator found several places around the home that appeared to have a flammable liquid on them and areas of siding that were burned. The investigation into the fire is ongoing. No injuries were reported and a damage estimate is not available yet.
