SWANTON, Ohio — State investigators have ruled a vacant house fire in Swanton on Friday was an arson and are seeking information from the public to identify those responsible.

Springfield Township firefighters were dispatched to the fire at 9:34 p.m. on Oct. 13 at 11750 Shaffer Road, Swanton, OH 43558, the Ohio State Fire Marshal said in a press release Monday.

The fire completely destroyed the structure.
