‘Suspicious' Fire Destroys Police Officer's Montgomery County Home

A fire tore through a Montgomery County home early Thursday morning, destroying the property before firefighters were able to get the blaze under control.

Crews responded to reports of smoke and flames in the 2-story home of a local township police officer on Commons Drive in Sanatoga shortly before 2:30 a.m., officials said.

The fire was placed under control overnight, but authorities said they are treating the incident as suspicious.

The Montgomery County Fire Marshal is investigating whether an accelerant was used to spur the blaze, which completely gutted the police officer's home.

No one was hurt in the blaze.
