North Carolina Firefighter Charged With Arson

A volunteer firefighter in Surry County faces arson charges, authorities said Tuesday.

Dehart was charged with second-degree burglary and second-degree arson, according to a statement from the Surry County Sheriff's Office.

Investigators said they are looking into whether Dehart is linked to two other mobile home fires that occurred last summer.

Dehart is a volunteer firefighter with the Four Way Volunteer Fire Department. He was placed under a $100,000 secured bond.
