THE CITY OF NORTHAMPTON, MASSACHUSETTS (just north of Springfield), was the scene early this morning (Sunday) of as many as 11 arsons in the span of 73 minutes. Seven of the fires were in buildings and four were automobiles, all of them within a half-mile radius of downtown. Two fatalities were found in one of the homes on Fair Street, pictured below, but police are not saying anything about it other than to confirm they were two men. Neighbors say that a father and his adult son lived in the house.
