A fire that destroyed an empty home on the 2300 block of Edgely Road was ruled an arson by Fire Marshal Kevin Dippolito Sunday morning.

Multiple fire companies responded to the fire call  in the  two-story dwelling  around  5:45 a.m Sunday morning, according to scanner reports.

The blaze, Dippolito said,  “started in the back right-hand corner of the empty residence.” The house is currently on the market for sale, he added.

The investigation is being turned over to Bristol Township detectives, according to Dippolito.

In the daylight, the charred remains of the two-story structure made clear the origin of the fire where long streaks of singed wood were visible on back right edge of the home.
