Within hours of the fire that destroyed a historic house at 380 Main St., former Republican City Council candidate Steve Coan was convinced it was arson -- and pretty damn sure who lit the match.
The city's fire chief, Denis Pieri, has come to the same conclusion. Pieri's asking for the public's help in solving the crime.
Though Coan's wise enough not to name anyone, he's doing what he can to convince the person he thinks is behind the fire to turn himself in.
At this week's council meeting, Coan took the podium during public participation to declare, "We have a lunatic loose in this city."
He said that he and his neighbors on Federal Hill are "afraid to sleep" at night for fear that a maniac could strike their homes.
Coan said that he hopes the arsonist will come forward.
"Turn yourself in," Coan said, aware the cameras were rolling. "Get some help."

Nice Blog Steve, would love to see you keep it going. its interesting to see the little tid bits that dont always make it to print also.
Appreciate your efforts here. It would be nice to have a feed or notification of new posts.
What ever happened to innocent until proven guilty? If you think real hard about it you could come up with another scenerio. Someone convienent to blame, gets blamed.
