On November 11th, a Chattooga County officer was dispatched to a home on Highway 157 after receiving a report of property damage. 

One man told the officer that he had seen a controlled fire at his neighbor's home earlier that day. But about three hours before the officer arrived, the man saw that his own stack of railroad ties had caught fire. The man said he had about 120 ties at about eight dollars each, bringing the total value of the damage at $960.

A report was filed for future reference.
