CRIME Medford porch fire appears intentional, investigators say Comment By Teresa Thomas Mail Tribune MailTribune.com By Teresa Thomas Mail Tribune Posted Feb. 15, 2015 @ 8:51 pm By Teresa Thomas Mail Tribune Posted Feb. 15, 2015 @ 8:51 pm » Social News Police are on the lookout for an arsonist who attempted to burn down a manufactured home in southwest Medford early Sunday morning. Medford Fire-Rescue responded to the fire at 12:28 a.m. Sunday in the 1400 block of Thomas Road, Emergency Communications of Southern Oregon dispatch records show. Crews arrived to find the front porch on fire and burn spots around the base of the house, said Medford Fire-Rescue battalion chief Rick Rohrbough, citing a report by fire investigator Samantha Metheny. A plastic gas can was found on the scene, and there was liquid burning on the steps and porch, Rohrbough said. Police officers entered and searched the house, but no one was home, Medford police Sgt. D.J. Graham said. “At this time, it’s believed to be an intentional act and not an accident,” Graham said. Any information about the case should be reported to Medford police Detective Tony Young at 541-774-2230.
