MAPLE SHADE, N.J. (AP) -- Two rescue squad members were charged Tuesday with setting at least 30 fires in Camden and Burlington counties between Nov. 6 and Nov. 19.
Police in Maple Shade said they arrested James T. Shue, 23, of Pennsauken, and Douglas S. Mandichak, 19, of Maple Shade and charged them with eight arsons in the township, including a Nov. 7 fire at the township's heavy rescue squad headquarters.
Both men were members of the Maple Shade heavy and Palmyra ambulance squads.
Police said the pair is also accused of setting 15 fires in Cherry Hill, three in Pennsauken, two in Merchantville and others in Palmyra, Riverton and Medford.
Shue is accused of setting fire to an ambulance facility in Palmyra and a barn in Medford.
None of the blazes resulted in injuries.
But the two at rescue facilities and the one in a Medford barn caused heavy damage, said Maple Shade Police Det. Sgt. Gary Gubbei.
"Some people just like fires," Gubbei said.
Both suspects were in the Burlington County Jail on Tuesday with bail set at $130,000 each just for the Maple Shade charges. Shue had an additional $30,000 bail for his Palmyra charge.
Both were scheduled to appear in Superior Court in Mount Holly on Wednesday.
