Valerie Mesaros had pleaded guilty to setting a fire at a New Cumberland apartment building last December, routing at least eight people from their homes.
Harrisburg woman gets state prison term for setting New Cumberland fire last December.A Harrisburg woman will spend at least three years in state prison for torching a New Cumberland man’s apartment in a fit of rage last December, an act that left nine people temporarily homeless and sent one man to a hospital for treatment of minor injuries.
According to police reports, Mesaros was a guest at one of the apartments that night, but was asked to leave after an argument with the tenant. The origin of the fight was not clear. Police also found a container of charcoal lighter fluid in a trash can behind the building, in line with the path that the witness said Mesaros took while leaving the scene.The resulting blaze, dispatched about 7:20 a.m., forced the evacuation of the entire four-unit building, and at least two second-floor occupants had to be rescued from a rear balcony since their access to the main exit onto Bridge Street was blocked by heavy smoke.
