Bowling Green fire ruled arson

5/2/2006

BOWLING GREEN - A fire at a day spa on East Wooster Street last week has been ruled an arson, fire officials said yesterday.

Eclipse Salon and Day Spa, formerly the Shed, was heavily damaged by the fire, which was reported about 4 a.m. Thursday. Firefighter-investigator Ryan Patton said it appears the arsonist broke a window to enter the business, but he wouldn't say how the fire was started.

He said it doesn't appear the fire is related to an explosion about 1 a.m. Friday in a basement laundry room at a nearby apartment building in the 500 block of Clough Street. Both are still under investigation.
