Firefighter Jay C. Maddy with the Eaton Volunteer Fire Department had responded to a series of arson fires, the community was placed on curfew and a fire watch was established. Approximately 16 hours after working the fire responses and finishing his assignment on the fire watch, Maddy was rushed to Ball Memorial Hospital, suffering from chest pains. He passed away a few hours later from an apparent heart attack.
Two suspects, a juvenile and an 18-year-old male, have been arrested in connection with the reported 21 fires that included four cars, a recreational vehicle inside and a boat sitting outside of a metal garage, numerous trashcans, a moped and a church bus.
