The citizens of Lewiston are facing a serious and problematic situation — arson.

The fires that have struck Lewiston during the past two years have become a nightmare for residents and some are contemplating moving to a safer environment.

Let us not forget the tremendous efforts by Lewiston firefighters and what they have done controlling those fires and keeping them from becoming hell on Earth.

They put their lives on the line each day to protect the city of Lewiston and its citizens against the uncertainties that could expose the city to more danger.
