JONESVILLE, Mich. -- An investigator from the Michigan State Police's fire marshal division says a fire last week at the former railroad depot here was intentionally set.

Sgt. Ken Hersha said yesterday that he found traces of an accelerant in the remains of the building, which is off of U.S. 12 in downtown Jonesville.

Authorities say there are suspects in the arson, but have not filed charges yet in the case.
