It seems the sick fascination with fire that is terrorizing Coatesville is not limited to Chester County.

Police in Upper Darby Tuesday arrested a 19-year-old woman for a series of early-morning arson fires in Drexel Hill. Township top cop Mike Chitwood said Amanda Gessner was “a profile of what a pryomaniac would be.”

They believe she intentionally set seven fires between the hours of 3:05 a.m. to 5:45 a.m. Tuesday. She used a lighter to torch material on porches or nearby shrubs and bushes.

That sounds very similar to the problem that has been going on in Coatesville. Unfortunately that’s about all they have in common, a sick interest in setting things on fire. Police in Upper Darby do not believe the two situations are connected. Coatesville has suffered 18 intentionally set fires since the first of the year.

In Drexel Hill, several homes were targeted, along with dumpsters and trash cans aside several homes. In one of the targeted homes, a family with four children were all asleep inside. Thankfully, no one was injured.

Police say Gessner had been spotted hanging around a local fire house giving firefighters a hard time and also was spotted in the crowd at several recent fires.

In a bizarre development, police say she was actually singing a tune when they picked her up early Tuesday at a local Wawa with the lyrics indicating “the fire company’s going to be mad at me.”

It didn’t take long for police to track her down. Now if only the same thing could be said for the devastation being heaped upon Coatesville.
