Barre Investigating Possible Lauzon Connection to Monday’s Fire?

My apologies if this one ends up as mere rumor rather than story, but I was just told by someone who claims their cousin is a Barre firefighter that the BFD is investigating Mayor Lauzon’s possible connections to the “suspicious” fire that burnt the historic Aldrich Block on Monday.  Lauzon had just purchased the building.  Allegedly, there was no electricity on in the vacant building, and the third floor (where the fire appears to have started) was- again, allegedly- entirely empty.  I’m sure there will be more to come, if my source is credible (which, to be clear, I’m not sure of).

  1. State fire investigators, who spent several hours sifting through the rubble on the now-roof-less third floor of the former bank building, indicated in a brief press release that their investigation is “ongoing.” Police believe the fire was set shortly after Monday’s Memorial Day parade ended but provided no additional details.

  2. relating to the coverage of the fire.

    Seems a lot of folks are insisting Lauzon set the fire … and the TA doesn’t want to be sued for libel/slander.
