Wellington Fire District is currently looking for the person responsible for a garage fire that they believe is an arson.

According to the fire district, at around 7:06 p.m. on Sunday night they responded to a garage fire on Clay Street. Crews at the scene extinguished a fire in the garage as well as a trash can that was sitting next to the back door of the house. 

Investigators from the Wellington Fire District and the State of Ohio's Fire Marshal have determined the fire was intentionally set.
