Six juveniles are suspected to being involved in a fire at an abandoned farm in Moosup yesterday.
Members of the Moosup, Central Village, Atwood Hose, Oneco and Plainfield fire departments, as well as American Legion Ambulance, responded to a structure fire at Barber Hill Road in the Moosup section of Plainfield at 3:37 p.m. and found the barn engulfed in flames.
Witnesses told investigators that several youths were spotted walking from the property about half an hour before the fire.
Police obtained descriptions of the juveniles and located six people, who they referred to as suspects, and said arrests are pending.
Crews continue to investigate.
No one was injured in the fire, which was contained to the abandoned structure and did not spread to the fields or other abandoned structures on the property.
