Arson Investigators Probe Fatal Philly-Area Fire

September 1, 2010

Authorities in suburban Philadelphia are trying to determine whether a fatal house fire was deliberately set.

Bristol Township Fire Marshal Kevin Dippolito says the Levittown home was engulfed in flames by the time fire crews arrived shortly after 1:30 p.m. Monday. He says the body of a 30-year-old man was found there with severe burns. An autopsy is planned Tuesday.

Authorities said a woman was also at the home but was able to escape uninjured.

Officials say arson investigators are at the scene, but no determination has been made on the cause of the blaze.
