FIRE DELIBERATELY SET? INVESTIGATORS SAY ARSON 05/08/2009

The fire that destroyed the old Blancett Ford building on Wednesday is being investigated as an arson fire.

Investigators from the state Fire Marshall’s office, as well as arson investigators from Kentucky State Police, and Federal agents of the Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms Bureau have been combing through the rubble that was once a three story, brick and concrete building at 3rd and Main Streets in Hardinsburg.

A passerby noticed smoke coming from the building around 4:40 Wednesday morning. Hardinsburg fire fighters arrived on the scene minutes later and heard explosions coming from inside the 70-year old structure. The garage area of the former car dealership then started to burn and flames soon engulfed the entire building. The flames were visible from several blocks away and a pillar of black smoke was visible for miles around.

Thunder Road Soda Blasting, a metal refinishing/restoration company, was housed in the building. Owner Mike French told WXBC news there were 29 Classic cars in the building when the fire broke out—some of them worth over $100,000 each, with one valued at over $200,000. Some of the vehicles had not yet been restored, but all were rendered worthless by the blaze. French, who was out of town when the fire occurred, said he has no insurance on the contents, and building owner Eugene Fentress had no insurance on the property.

Fire officials say the investigation is on-going and apparently have not determined the point of origin of the blaze.

Very sad this happened, hope they find the person/persons that did this and use them as a piñata at a Mopar show.

hopefully the owners atleast had insurance on there cars so there not totaly out

Wow, that hurts.

I'm guessing there were some cars that can't be replaced in that building. Its a total shame soneone would set fire to it.
