An arson investigation is underway on Stacy Lane Road in Estill County after a mobile home went up in flames just before four o’clock Monday afternoon. The fire happened just one week after investigators say the homeowner, Gordon Davis, died.
As firefighters check the smoldering remnants of a home nearly leveled by fire,
“After knocking all the hot spots down and getting in there, we found some suspicious fire patterns,” says Fire Chief Derrick Muncie of the Estill County Fire Department.

Those patterns raised a few questions.
This isn’t the first time emergency responders and sheriff’s deputies responeded to the home. They were at the house just one week ago. The Estill County Sheriff says Gordon Davis died last Monday. The death is still under investigation, pending toxicology results. Investigators say Davis was a suspect in a burglary in Owsley County, where he’s from.
The fire has neighbors recalling a string of suspicious fires in Estill County back in August, and even more recently.
“We’ve had a couple here over the last couple months, and we’re still working on the one with all the barns we had a few months ago,” says Chief Muncie.
But whether this one fits the pattern, remains to be seen.
