Arsons at FHS

Falmouth Police arrested two teenage boys, 15 and 16, yesterday after they set fire to the weight room next to the track at Falmouth High School. A Falmouth Fire Rescue crew extinguished the blaze at 7:56 AM, which was reported at 7:34 AM.

According to a member of the FFRD, Mike Mueller, the firefighters had to partially open up the ceiling and roof to check if the fire had spread. Fortunately it had not and damage to the small building was very minor.

Since the two teens are juveniles, their names cannot be released and it is still unclear whether or not the boys are students at FHS. They have been charged with a long list of crimes including maliciously injuring real or personal property and disorderly conduct.

This startling event follows a few others that occurred this week at the high school, including a bomb threat written on a classroom desk and several false fire alarms.

Under what authority did Mike Mueller pass the arson information on to you? Are you considered an insider?

Haha, perhaps I am an insider now that he is a firefighter.
