SEYMOUR - The cause of a fire Friday that damaged a playscape at the Vincentena Kobasa Recreation Area behind Anna L. LoPresti School is being “actively investigated,” Fire Marshal Paul Wetowitz said.
Citizens Engine Company responded to the fire, which was reported at 12:41 p.m., Wetowitz said.
Half a section of a plastic slide area was burned and he said it appeared there had been a roof over the slide, which is also gone. Wetowitz was waiting to see a photo of the playscape to get a better idea of how it looked before the fire. “Radiated heat affected plastic chairs that were there,” he said.
“I can say it’s not an accidental fire,” Wetowitz said. An arson-sniffing canine from the state fire marshal’s office was brought to the scene. No injuries were reported.
School starts Tuesday in Seymour.
