Authorities Seek Person Seen Running From House Fire In Kent County

Kent County fire officials are on the look out for a person seen on video surveillance, running from a home on fire in Kennedyville over the weekend. The blaze broke out around 1 a.m. on Saturday, Aug. 23 at a vacant residence on Augustine Herman Highway. Investigators believe the same home was intentionally set ablaze back on Feb. 28 — less than six months ago. Roughly 40 firefighters from two alarms responded early Saturday and brought the blaze under control in about 20 minutes, officials said. Damage is estimated at $50,000.
