Arson Investigation KSP Looking For Vehicle in Connection to Jessamine Co. Fire

Firefighters responded to the scene of a house fire in Jessamine County and the M.O. matches previous fires in the area.

The fire at a home on 1701 Woods Road in Nicholasville was a two-alarm fire and the circumstances surrounding it are very similar to two house fires from Friday in Garrard County and another in Jessamine County.

Chief Michael Rupard tells LEX 18 that the fire originated in the basement and rose to the third floor doing significant damage in the process.

Though an investigation still needs to be conducted, it appears that burglary and arson are possibilities. Now authorities will have to search for a possible connection to the other homes victimized in the last 72 hours.

Just last week, a home on Pollys Bend in Lancaster was burglarized then set on fire. A few hours after that, the same thing happened to another home on Highbridge Road in Jessamine County.

State Police say the same person that started the fires in Lancaster and Highbridge Road, also started the fire on Woods Road.

KSP Troopers say to be on the lookout for a grey/silver Chevy Cobalt connected to the person of interest.

The Kentucky State Police is asking if anyone has seen anything suspicious that could be related to the fires, or if they have noticed the Cobalt in the area, to contact KSP Post 7 at 859-623-2404 or the Arson Task Force at 1-800-27ARSON (1-800-272-7766 FREE).  The Arson Task Force is offering up to a $1000.00 reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the person(s) responsible for starting any of the fires.
