The 47 acts of
Arson in Mansfield, Ohio
have ceased for nearly a month. I raised a few eyebrows with some
theories in my last blog.
I’m happy to report through credible sources my thoughts are close to what transpired.
Since the smoke cleared, it's possible to read between the lines.
In fact, I may have hit the nail on the head!

- The fires were started by using a highly flammable accelerant.
- As the investigation has deepened is it a coincidence the arson activities ceased?
- Were those acts of arson a significant reason for Mansfield, Ohio being awarded a 2.1 million dollar SAFER Grant?
- If folks are charged, were specific organization(s) involved or were the individual’s just seeking one of the 15 jobs to be created from the grant money?
As I stated in my last blog, the balking of accepting the
SAFER Grant money (by a city that is nearly broke and a recent failed Safety
Levy) leads me to wonder if city officials may suspect it would be embarrassing
to accept the grant depending on how things shakedown.
I am also glad to hear State of Ohio Fire Officials have been
assisting Capt. Amy McElvain in the investigation; I just wish their involvement would have come
sooner.
Given Mansfield’s past history, let’s hope this case is
solved quickly before the plot thickens.
Remember, you read it here first in The Rust
Belt Chronicles.
Stay tuned!

We Meet Again,
