Investigators believe that a fire in Bergen on Monday night was deliberately set. Nobody was injured in the fire.
The fire, reported at 9:10 p.m., destroyed an old trailer and two cars used for parts at Bergen Auto Recycling, 7652 Clinton St. Road.
Deputy Chief Jerry Brewster said investigators don't have much to go on.
"The owner of the yard has no idea of why anyone would do this," Brewster said. "There was scant evidence...a set of snow-covered footprints approaching the RV and then leaving."
Brewster said Jim Bouton of Genesee County Emergency Services determined the fire was likely deliberately set.
Brewster said he was told the trailer was worthless.
"I presume that some type of accelerant was probably used," Brewster said.
Fire departments from Bergen, South Byron and Churchville responded to the scene.
