The second of the suspected arsons was reportedly on the 21000 block of Fair Oaks Road in Melfa. Police say it was reported around 9:35 p.m. Investigators say this fire burned the dwelling to the ground.

 Police say the third blaze was reported around 1:50 a.m. Tuesday morning on the 12000 block of Houston Street in Exmore. Reports say the structure is a single story, unoccupied dwelling and suffered interior fire damage.

Currently all arson cases are still under criminal investigation.
