Troopers who responded found heavy damage to 11 vehicles in a secluded construction yard off the highway. They said Hammonasset Construction estimates the total loss to be around $1 million.

As the investigation continues, state police said the fire would likely have been visible from the highway in that area, the I-84 West exit 39A off-ramp and the Route 9 exit 40A ramp connector to I-84.

Anyone who has information or who saw or heard anything suspicious in the area from during the overnight hours of Oct. 12 into Oct. 13 is asked to contact Detective Bria at [email protected] or at 860-461-8610.
