Somerset Borough, PA – Fire investigators are looking into two separate house fires at the same Somerset Borough residence after a second blaze caused significant damage, raising concerns about suspicious circumstances.
According to the Pennsylvania State Police Troop A Fire Marshal Unit, the fires occurred at a home located at 237 E. Main Street in Somerset Borough, Somerset County. The first fire broke out on December 22, 2025 (Monday) and was contained to a single room inside the residence. No major structural damage was reported at that time.
A second fire occurred at the same address on December 24, 2025 (Wednesday). Authorities say that blaze originated on the second floor of the home and caused significant structural damage. Due to the repeat nature of the incidents, investigators have classified both fires as suspicious.
State police confirmed that the Troop A Fire Marshal Unit is actively investigating the cause and origin of both fires. No arrests have been announced, and officials have not released information on potential suspects.
Investigators are asking for the public’s help. Anyone with information related to either fire is urged to contact Trooper Sobeck at (724) 832-3256, submit a tip through PSP Tips by calling 1-800-472-8477, or report information online at p3tips.com.
