INVESTIGATION UNDERWAY INTO A FIRE THAT WAS SET TO THE CONCESSION STANDS AT LAKE STREET PLAYGROUND

Salisbury, MD - Earlier today, Eastern Shore Undercover published a post about a burglary at the Lake Street Playground, located at 704 Lake Street in Salisbury, Wicomico County, Maryland.  

At the time, we were only aware of the burglary but we have now learned that someone actually set the storage building for the concession stands on fire. This property is owned by the City of Salisbury Parks Department and between the structural damage and loss of contents, there was a total estimated loss of approximately $5,000. 

The cause of this fire is incendiary.  The fire occurred sometime between today's date, January 2, 2024 and December 20, 2023.  

Anyone with information on this fire is asked to call Deputy State Fire Marshals at the Lower Eastern Regional Office at 410-713-3780.
