Officials in Suffolk Virginia believe a brush fire started after juveniles lit a snapping turtle on fire on Tuesday April 17th. "Debbie George, Interim Chief of Staff for the City of Suffolk said that the fire started in a wooded area near an apartment complex in the 6000 block of College Drive around 5:30 p.m." Fire investigators say a dead snapping turtle was set on fire and lit the brush on fire. Debbie George said the investigation is still continuing and there could be charges toward the juveniles. The ages of the juveniles still haven't been released. I think that the juveniles should get in trouble for starting the fire.
