University of Delaware Chabad Fire Was Arson, Investigators Say
The states fire marshal ruled that a fire at the University of Delaware Chabads Center for Jewish Life on Aug. 26 was an act of arson.
Delaware Online reported that firefighters were called at around 11:15 p.m. on Aug. 26; it took the firefighters three hours to extinguish fire. No one was inside the building at the time of the fire.
Investigators initially estimated the Chabad sustained $75,000 in damage from the fire, but the estimate has since risen to $150,000-$200,000. Investigators also said they have not seen any evidence indicating that the arson was a hate crime; the investigation is ongoing.
