Former South Carolina Firefighter Faces Arson Charges

RED BANK, S.C. --

Arson charges against a former Lexington County firefighter.

Forty-eight-year-old Robert John Livingston faces three counts of arson related to two overnight fires in Red Bank on Tuesday and a third fire in a bathroom at a Lexington gas station June 18th.

Lexington County authorities say the Red Bank fires involved a vacant mobile home around eleven Tuesday night followed an hour-and-a-half later by a fire set to a home.

There were no injuries in either blaze, but damage to the house is estimated at nearly $100,000.

Livingston, who was also an EMT, remains in jail awaiting a bond hearing.
