Hi there, I'm wondering if anyone here either remembers or knows someone who remembers the Arson fires that occurred in and around the Boston area from 1981-1984. If so, I'd love to chat with you for a project I'm working on. Many thanks!

This feels like a trap. I don’t have an alibi for those years.

If your working on a project why not talk to the old timers that work for I think it’s called “sparks” that follow fire fighters n provide food n water . Weren’t some of them the ones who were involved/accused if I remember correctly.

Related but not really - I think this news article from 1977 might be of interest for you https://ibb.co/NYYPhLt

Thanks for all of the resources! I'm specifically looking for people who lived in the neighborhoods of where the fires took place. Bit of a long shot I know!
