Overnight Fires in Yancey County 'Suspicious'

Investigators say three separate fires in Yancey County appear to have been set on purpose, and that they could be related.

The fires happened at B&W Stone Company, and barns on Presnell Hollow Road and Bear Wallow Road. Workers at the stone company say they had just moved into their now-destoryed building a few weeks ago.

Authorities say no one was hurt in the fires.

The S.B.I. and Yancey County Sheriff's Office are investigating.
