Possible Arson Probed At Jewish Center

Fire investigators are trying to determine whether an overnight fire in the city's Germantown section is arson.

The suspicious fire broke out around 2:45am Tuesday at the Jewish Employment and Vocational Services building. The center is in the 5500 block of Wayne Avenue.

Fox-29's Steve Keeley reported, investigators used a dog, trained to sniff out accelerants, to determine whether the fire was intentionally set.

The non-profit facility is used for job re-training for struggling adults. About 17,000 people receive support at the center each year.
