NORTH EAST â Investigators have arrested a man and charged him with attempted murder, arson and other offenses in connection with an intentionally-set fire that destroyed an unoccupied mobile home near North East in February and resulted in four volunteer firefighters suffering burns, according to the Maryland Office of the State Fire Marshal.
The suspect - Dwight Heath Holmes, Jr., 32, of Elkton - allegedly torched the house in the 100 block of Superior Court in the Lakeside Mobile Home Park shortly after midnight on Feb. 10, after making arson threats to his ex-girlfriend, who had been staying there, court records allege.
Sr. Deputy State Fire Marshal Oliver J. Alkire reported that Holmes targeted the house because his former girlfriend had rejected his requests to renew their relationship and that he set fire to the place at a time when he knew she normally would have been inside the dwelling.

CHARLESTOWN â The last of four volunteer firefighters who suffered burns while battling an intentionally-set house blaze near North East earlier this month returned home Friday night - in ceremonious fashion - after spending nine days at the Bayview Burn Center in Baltimore.
A motorcade comprised of eight fire and police vehicles streamed into the Charlestown Volunteer Fire Company parking lot shortly after 8 o clock that evening, with sirens blaring and emergency lights flashing.
Standing in a line near the entrance, fellow firefighters and other well-wishers were there to greet the procession. Chesapeake City Volunteer Fire Company and Singerly Volunteer Fire Company fire trucks were present, too, as were some of their members.
