SUMMARY OF INCIDENT:

On February 21, 2020, at approximately 1:04 AM the Cambridge Fire Department responded to 5408 Plot Road in Cambridge for a reported structure fire.  When firefighters arrived they found the maple sager house fully engulfed in flames.  Fire crews suppressed the flames after fighting the fire for more than two hours in sub-zero temperatures. The sugar house and its contents were a total loss valued at more than $50,000. The fire was initially classified as undetermined but possibly caused by an electric heater. 

 

On March 9, 2020,  the Vermont State Police Fire and Explosion Investigation Unit received information that the fire had been intentionally set, and detectives began an investigation into the origin and cause of the fire event.  The subsequent investigation has led to the arrest of 25 year old Ciana Allen of Hyde Park, Vermont. Investigators learned Allen had been drinking on the night of the fire and was upset at a former boyfriend, whose family owns a sugar house on Plot Road.  Investigators believe Allen intended to set a fire at this sugarhouse but instead set the blaze at another nearby sugarhouse, owned by the victims in this case. Allen also accused another person of being responsible for setting the fire while being interviewed.   

 

Allen was cited to appear in Lamoille County Superior Court – Criminal Division on September 16, 2020 at 12:30 PM
