Victim Suspects Arson In Two Center Point Car Fires

CENTER POINT, AL - Two car fires that occurred Tuesday could be an act of arson, according to a business owner who was a victim of one of the fires.

A report by the Trussville Tribune said Brian Dunnavant, who owns Dunnavant Auto Clean on Center Point Road, said that his truck was burned on Tuesday night, causing massive damage. The fire from the truck parked near the shop singed the side of the building and burned the awning over the door some 15 feet from the truck. A security camera set up on the property captured smoke at 9:03 p.m.

Dunnavant told the Tribube that the fire was set in the bed of his truck and that it "was so hot that it almost burned a hole into the bed."

The other fire occurred at Center Point Wholesale Transmission, a business located approximately one mile from Dunnavant Auto Clean.
