Three volunteer fire fighters are among five people arrested in Doaktown, N.B. in connection with a series of arsons of unoccupied buildings—three of which occurred in 2009, just prior to the annual fire equipment fundraisers breakfast. Two of those arrested are veterans of the 18-member volunteer department in the town of 900. The buildings they are charged with setting fire to include a vacant historic house and the building that housed Bill Bob’s Bar.
