Investigators Suspect Arson In Museum Fire

FRISCO, Colo. (AP) - Investigators say they suspect arson in a fire that heavily damaged the Frisco Historic Park Museum.

Lake Dillon Fire-Rescue Chief Dave Parmley says firefighters used as little water as possible on Sunday to keep from damaging artifacts at the Ruth House. The building interior and roof were damaged, but the exterior was saved, along with many of the artifacts that include clothing and a hat collection.

A $5,000 reward has been offered for information leading to the persons responsible.
