Fire Destroys Grandstand At Fairfield County Fairgrounds

lancastereaglegazette.com

A fire on Saturday morning destroyed a century-old grandstand at a fairground in Lancaster. Police are talking with a group of juveniles who were running from the Fairfield County Fairgrounds when firefighters arrived. Fire officials say the blaze is considered a possible arson because there was no electrical wiring in the grandstand. The structure built in 1909 burned to the ground and is a total loss. It was no longer being used after being damaged by winds.
