Firefighters are supposed to extinguish fires, not deliberately set buildings on fire. Yet, three local firefighters are facing arson charges after they were allegedly caught on video setting fire to a building in Madison.

According to a criminal complaint filed in the Magistrate Court of Boone County, 19-year old Dustin Vance, of Foster, 19-year old Gerald Waters III, of Madison, and 19-year-old Larry Nunnery III, of Danville, were arrested Friday and charged with first-degree arson and conspiracy.

All three men were members of the Madison Volunteer Fire Department.

Patrick J. Barker, of the Fire Investigation Division, West Virginia State Fire Marshall’s Office, states in the complaint that the fire occurred during the early morning hours of May 6, at #10 Avenue C, and was captured on video surveillance.
