TWO DELI / BAKERY SHOPS IN NEARBY CONNECTICUT TOWNS had fires early Friday morning just a half-hour apart. In one of them, the bakers were at work in the Purdy Hill Bakery & Deli in Monroe at 2 am when they smelled smoke and found an incipient fire. The FD was called and it was extinguished with very little damage.
Just down the road in Beacon Falls it was a different story. Less than 30 minutes after the fire in Monroe, the Beacon Falls Bakery & Deli was completely gutted by a fire.

Arson investigators say that there is positive evidence that the Monroe fire was an arson attempt the the burnout in Beacon Falls is suspicious. They also disclosed that both bakeries are owned by the same person which opens up the possibility of a grudge or revenge motive.
WTNH-TV Ch. 8 has a good video report on the fires:
