LANCASTER, Pa. --
A volunteer firefighter has been charged with setting four fires in southern Lancaster County.
State police announced Wednesday that 19-year-old Travis Pierce set three barn fires and a brush fire since the end of October.
Pierce has volunteered for the Robert Fulton Fire company for about two years and fought the fires he started, including a barn fire Wednesday morning in Fulton Township. Investigators said he confessed to the arson.
His fire chief said he feels betrayed, upset and shocked.
State police said Pierce feels very remorseful about what he has done. He told police he would have continued to set fires if they hadn't stopped him.
