Inspector: April Fire at Barn Intentionally Set

The April fire at a vacant, landmark barn on Springhouse Road in South Whitehall was intentionally set, according to township Fire Inspector John G. Frantz.

It was the second time in four months that firefighters battled a blaze there.

Frantz said the fire was confined to a rear portion of the barn, and he was able to get into the structure to make his determination. 

The investigation continues.

The cause of the smokey fire at the barn on Christmas Eve 2010 was undetermined, Frantz had ruled.
