Treasure of Saint-Lazare
“Thom Anderson stood at the curb in animated conversation with a tall man whose white helmet announced he was a chief.
Jen jumped out of the car before it stopped moving. She lifted the yellow police tape and stepped under it, ignoring the single policeman across the street who shouted at her to keep out.
“Thom! What happened?” she asked the detective, grabbing his arm to pull him away from his conversation with the fireman.
“Ms. Wetzmuller,” he replied. “Let Chief Benson tell you some of what h...e’s just told me.”
“Ma’am, I’m the battalion chief,” he said. “I can’t tell you everything that went on here, but it’s clear someone tried to burn down your house. We found a plastic gasoline can in the back yard, and the back door had been forced. There’s not a huge amount of fire damage, and it’s mostly in the kitchen. For that you can thank your neighbor, who heard the glass break and then saw the flames a few minutes later and called us.
