BEL AIR, MD — The Seasons of Bel Air's former pool house in Bel Air experienced a fire officials believe was intentionally set Sunday afternoon. Witnesses reported seeing a juvenile on the property before the fire, according to the Office of the State Fire Marshal.

Firefighters arrived to find a brush fire alongside the exterior of the vacant pool house shortly before 2 p.m. Twenty firefighters with the Bel Air Volunteer Fire Company responded and it took them about 10 minutes to reign in the fire, which was discovered by a person passing by, according to the state fire marshal's office.
