Fire at Foxmoor Village Ruled Arson

MIDDLE SMITHFIELD TWP., MONROE COUNTY -- An overnight fire that destroyed a furniture store building in the Poconos was no accident. That's the ruling from a State Police fire marshal investigating the big blaze in Middle Smithfield Township.

The massive fire started Friday night around midnight in the Foxmoor Village along Route 209. The building was vacant but was getting set to open as DBA Home Decor.

The mostly abandoned strip mall has no fire hydrants. Crews struggled early to get water to the scene.

The manager of Foxmoor Cinema 7 said a group of kids was in the mall when the fire started. "The kids left for the most part and there was a couple hanging around outside. So I went inside and started to do my paperwork and then I hear banging on the door and the kids said there's a fire, there's a fire. And so I went and got the fire extinguishers and I saw kids run the opposite direction, like two or three of them," said Stacy Nored.

Arson investigators hope someone out there knows more about who set the fire. Anyone with information should call state police.
