Thieves broke into a Frankfort business and then set it on fire, but luckily a water heater managed to put it out.
On one of the salon’s busiest days, arson investigators are police are trying to figure out who broke in and tried to burn down Flobie’s Beauty Salon.
“I don’t know why somebody would do that and then to catch my building on fire to destroy it,” owner Flo Casey said.
Casey said they’ve been successful since she opened a year ago, but now her seven employees have nowhere to go and for the meantime are out of business.
“I don’t know how long we’ll be down. Hopefully only a few days,” she said.
Deputies said the thieves stole cash, a TV and a few other items before trying to burn the place down.
The fire ended up melting a water line and put itself out.
“I’m just glad when they tried to burn me down the water put the fire out and I didn’t lose my whole building,” Casey said.

Casey hopes to be back up and running by next week and hopes those responsible pay for what they’ve done.
If you have any information, you’re asked to call the Franklin County Sheriff’s Office.
