We heard an investigator was 6296 W. Main St. (Route 262), Byron, the scene of last night fire, and so we e-mailed the Sheriff's Office for more information.

Chief Deputy Jerome Brewster sent the following reply:

The investigator assigned is currently back out at the scene. He will be consulting with the District Attorney's Office about possible charges later this afternoon. As far as arson, that will be one of several possibilities that will be discussed.

The Daily reported the residents having a bonfire. A person could still be charged with arson if a fire they lit caused damage to someones property, intentional or not.

The Batavian also reported a bonfire was a likely cause.

Speaking of Byron, what is the outcome of the couple injured by the bull a couple of weeks ago? Please do a follow up.
