crimestoppersURBANA - Two fires in two weeks have investigators and neighbors looking for answers.  In Crime Watch, the need to find the culprit.  The fires broke out in east Urbana at the Woodlawn Acres trailer park.  The first fire was August 19th, the second September 2nd, both overnight.  Both homes were empty at the time.  And because neither had utility service, investigators suspect arson.  Neighbors worry about their safety.  Travis Burr with the Champaign County Sheriff's Office says, "There are a lot of other residences that are very close that could catch fire from the exposure.  Also, there are a lot of children in the area and it's feared they'll start playing in that and get hurt as well."  If you see anything suspicious or have any information about these fires, call Champaign County Crimestoppers  at 373-TIPS.    Or you can send a text tip on your cell phone.  For directions, click here .  You can also send in a tip on line.  Click here to give an on-line tip.  You don't have to give your name or testify in court and a reward is offered.
