I don’t think he was initially arrested for the arson. I think he pissed the cop off cuz the cop was directing the car to turn and he cut the car off and then he was trying to leave when the cop grabbed him. I think the cop detained him and in the questioning he admitted the the fire. Cuz the fireman won’t know if it was arson until the fire is out and they can investigate. They don’t do that why the fire is going.
When I was a volunteer fireman we had couple times when the homeowner did this because he didn't want his wife to get the house or one time we had a kid go through the hole house and pour gas all though the house and he light it on fire because his parents were going through a divorce
“An Uxbridge man pleaded guilty to arson on Tuesday and was sentenced to a minimum of one and a half years in state prison after setting fire to his own house last summer. Christian Carven, 43, formerly of 4 Albee Road, pleaded guilty to arson of a dwelling after three-alarm fire on July 3, 2013 destroyed his home. Worcester Superior Court Judge James Lemire sentenced Carven to one and a half to two years in state prison on the arson charge. Carven also pleaded guilty to malicious destruction of property over $200 and was sentenced to five years probation after his release from prison. As conditions of his probation, Carven must stay away from the neighborhood, with a one-mile exclusion zone from the intersection of Albee and Millville roads, and the witnesses. He will also be monitored by GPS device and undergo mental health and substance abuse evaluations and treatment. He will also undergo random drug testing for illegal drugs and alcohol. Fire investigators, with the help of a state police canine, found evidence of a flammable liquid in the home where Carven lived with his wife and two children, who were not home at the time of the fire. Carven was charged two days after the fire and held on $100,000 bail after a prosecutor noted he was a suspect in several other suspicious fires in the neighborhood from 2005 and two in 2009. He was not charged in any of the other fires, according to the Worcester District Attorney’s office. In the case of the arson at his home, prosecutors presented evidence at the time that Carven had been seen leaving his home on a bicycle shortly before the fire. Before he left, he and his wife had an argument after she discovered evidence he had been drinking and then left with the two kids and said she planned to file for divorce, the prosecutor said.” It was rebuilt in 2014.
It would be nice if you provided a link to a news article or something. How do you know it was the homeowner? How do you know he set the fire? How do you know that was even the owner that got arrested and not some asshole who was arrested for crossing a police line?
Ok,so what,arrest him when and if he tried pulling insurance fraud on it afterwards,but to get arrested right then and there,its his house,his property,and all his shit,who gives a fuck as long as no one was hurt
OMG!!! I can’t believe someone would set fire to their own home intentionally. They won’t get insurance for that. That would be their own loss of everything. That was a beautiful home. What a dirty rotten shame!!!! That guy is a total a**hole for doing that.
If he set the fire (I haven't done any research on this - yet) the swine put a heck of a lot of people in danger: all first responders, every single driver that had to give way to emergency vehicles, and all of his neighbors. If one pedestrian or driver between the first responders' points or origin, all the way to the scene, had be injured - or killed - a whole additional set of people would have been thrown into anguish. Really don't care why he set the fire but I'm furious that he placed people in positions to be hurt or killed. What a selfish prick!
The old catch 22 in small towns. People don't want their taxes to go up, but they get pissed when their house burns down from lack of water. What a beautiful house. The jerk who did this should sit in jail for a long time.
If he did torched it, I would think he did it for the insurance money... Now if he did it, they won't pay...So he would end up with no house, no money and probably jail for arson and insurance fraud...
Seriously doubt they 'repaired' that. Most certainly would have bulldozed the remains and started over. Maybe the google earth view is old? I have no idea how frequently they get updated.
@@LUVEMDPOWER The google earth view is dated 2018. It looks like a new house was constructed that is similar to the one destroyed. However, I wonder if some of the outside walls of the original house might have been saved.
The home was fully involved when the first engine arrived. If you think they are going to race around especially when no other homes are at risk of catching on fire you are not involved with any fire services. Showing up and everyone going gangbusters when not necessary only causes accidents and possibly injury.
dude, do have anything new? i watched a bunch of your videos a few years ago. something happen that you cant get out and make new ones? you do good work, don't want to see you stop.
3:11 "William & Mary Farnun House 1821 Uxbridge" so it was a historical building and if you own a historical building you're restricted about what you can do..... I'm thinking it wanted to make chances that weren't approved so he torched it.....
I seriously doubt that's the homeowner being arrested for arson. There's no way that the police would have conclusive evidence that quickly. The fire hasn't even been extinguished. Investigations of this type typically take weeks to months. The bike rider probably got arrested for crossing a fire line or possibly had an outstanding warrant.
Daniel Murphy You are absolutely correct. Obviously you are very smart and I really like people like you that make sensible post. It actually is not arson unless he tries to collect insurance. That’s the legal standard. So if he gets arrested prior to making a claim I have to ask how is it arson?
Yes he can be arrested and taken away for questioning and NO the investigation does NOT need to be concluded yet. Say a neighbour observed him starting the fire than leaving on his bike. Than the neighbour told a firefighter on scene who told his captain who called for the investigator to come because now it’s a suspicious fire. In the mean time the cops have been notified and low and behold the owner returns on his bike trying to look all innocent with that “Oh shit my house is on fire” attitude only neighbour points him out to the cops who arrest his ass on suspicion of arson so his clothes, hands etc can be examined for trace evidence.
@@lindanwfirefighter4973You're certainly entitled to your opinion. If you were indeed a fire marshal then you would have first hand knowledge of how difficult it is to prove arson beyond a reasonable doubt. I made my comments based upon the events/evidence that was captured by the camera and didn't speculate/fabricate about what may have transpired or "what if" scenarios.
This is not what is called firefighting by professional FD standards. It's people in the neighborhood watching an excessively large home being gutted by fire while responding Volunteer Fire Fighters [try] to look like they know what they are there for and what they are doing, all to no avail !!!
And that's why no woman would want your stupid ass. You must think a woman should be barefoot pregnant and in the kitchen. Well Ward Cleaver snap out of 1954 and get into the 21 at century. Sexism and chauvinistic attitudes are bullshit and you are a shitty example of what a man should be
Too bad the fire department couldn't show up! Had These "People" Immediately extinguished the main fire in back while getting ready to enter, the spread of the fire might have been stopped. Massachusetts has a terrible record of bad and dangerous fire fighting!
@puck slapper The vast majority of American fire departments have adapted Heroic tactics instead of focusing on Stopping The Threat which is their job. They like to turn YOUR BURNING HOME into an adventure and photo op. It's is much more exciting running into a burning building than one that you have extinguished. If they Do Their Job and eliminate the threat Quickly and Safely, the Job turns into stinky, wet, hot and cold WORK! Don't doubt that for one second. UL and ISFSI have training videos that are 95% correct but they don't use them as they involve ONLY work and no fun.
@@JB91710 All I see is a whole lotta bullshit on a computer screen from some wannabe troll. Oh but wait...lets just use the deck gun like JB always says. Oh...but wait, there were water supply issues. Well there goes your only tactic. Sorry for your luck. You are too blinded by your hatred of firefighters, to realize what's really going on here. It's a shame really.
Flash Over JB91710 is back at the bullshit comments I see. It was nice when he had taken a break from commenting on every structure fire video, but it seems he’s back. I’m surprised he didn’t go off on his deck gun spcheil. He likes to pretend he has fireground experience, yet I doubt he has the ability to even extinguish a match.
The officer at the 5:06 mark pulling the asshole almost off the bike was really cool. Enjoyed watching him walk off hooked up.
lol, it was funny, would have been better if the guy got ran into the SUV trying to turn out of the fire trucks way. then arrested.
So sad to see that beautiful house go down. Thank you
Odd thing is, it was apparently replaced in 2014 with a near identical looking replica but not brick, uxbridge.patriotproperties.com/Summary.asp?AccountNumber=5021
That goes without saying but the homeowner committed arson
@@HobbyOrganist yeah that's not working
@@HobbyOrganist got replaced with trash siding and the nice chimneys are gone

Unless someone witnessed him setting his house ablaze in which case the officer would of had cause to arrest for suspicion of arson.
Some thing like this happens a lot in the U.S.A.. People think they can get away with it. It was a nice looking house, such a shame!!
It will be his own loss Insurance won't pay out if you deliberty set your own house on fire.
They will pay the mortgagee's interest.....assuming they have no involvement.
When I was a volunteer fireman we had couple times when the homeowner did this because he didn't want his wife to get the house or one time we had a kid go through the hole house and pour gas all though the house and he light it on fire because his parents were going through a divorce
That pesky mortgage payment again...
Why r people so stupid . Why would u burn your own house and all belongings .
I think the spider is dead now.
It's illegal, called arson you go to prison for this

He only got a year and a half for arson??? Holy shit are your laws lenient.

😂🤣 the kid with no shirt snapped a quick pic
Here’s a small Wikipedia article on this house. News articles are linked on page as well: en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_and_Mary_Farnum_House
Putting firemen and firewomen life at risk , he was such an ass to do this
Ok,so what,arrest him when and if he tried pulling insurance fraud on it afterwards,but to get arrested right then and there,its his house,his property,and all his shit,who gives a fuck as long as no one was hurt
This was my grandparent's home in the 70's. I spent a lot of time in that house as a kid.
People who are convicted of Arson should never be allowed to buy property again. What a POS!
What makes you think he was arrested for arson? I saw a man arrested for not yielding.
It was an historical house... what a shame
Now see, that was just stupid.that looked like a nice home...seriously???
OMG!!! I can’t believe someone would set fire to their own home intentionally. They won’t get insurance for that. That would be their own loss of everything. That was a beautiful home. What a dirty rotten shame!!!! That guy is a total a**hole for doing that.
I dont think he was the tourch just not getting out of the way of the tender truck.
So sad that people can set fire to their own home.Thank you so much to the fire department and all first responders.💙💙💙💙💙

@@jerrysmith7449 Nope.
Why?
And they knew that how?
It might have been an insurance job
I hope he stayed in jail forever -- burning a nice antique house like that --- Debbie
I know, right?? Commits arson, and not only that, with an almost- 200-year old piece of history. What an absolute putz!
I know I felt sick to my stomach watching it burn
that was his house
The old catch 22 in small towns. People don't want their taxes to go up, but they get pissed when their house burns down from lack of water. What a beautiful house. The jerk who did this should sit in jail for a long time.
Doesn't anyone know how to run a pump anymore? 100 pounds nozzle pressure plus 5 pounds per length. Come on!
If he did torched it, I would think he did it for the insurance money... Now if he did it, they won't pay...So he would end up with no house, no money and probably jail for arson and insurance fraud...
That is really sad to set fire to a nice house like that. Gees give it to someone or something
Ah yes..nothing like a little insurance fraud
A check on Google Earth and it looks like it's been repaired.
would hope so, its been 7 years.

Nice work Fire Fighters and Officers !! Job Well Done !!
Just wanted the insurance money
Not in a hurry to extinguish were they!

If you think they are going to race around especially when no other homes are at risk of catching on fire you are not involved with any fire services. Showing up and everyone going gangbusters when not necessary only causes accidents and possibly injury.
Also take into account the obvious water supply issues...not a great deal you can do when you are waiting for tankers to arrive?
Crazy 🔥fire!! Thank God firefighters r on the scene!!
On the scene with no water....
Anyone familiar with the arsonist’s motive? Thanks!
Divorce, found cheating I think
How the heck did the cops know he did it? Someone see him throw the match??
look it up, its been 7 years. i am sure you can find the case record online.
Multiple ignition points is a giveaway.
Multiple ignition points and multiple Witnesses buddy.
dude, do have anything new? i watched a bunch of your videos a few years ago. something happen that you cant get out and make new ones? you do good work, don't want to see you stop.
More ad revenue
Wasn't this year's ago??
Well if you look at the date, then yes! 😂
He looked young to have a place like that
Probably couldn't pay the mortgage
I wonder what was the reason of the home owner setting fire to his own property, Possibly being repossessed ??

I had my home repossessed. I didn't set my home on fire. I just bent over and took it like a man.
Maybe he was tired of ghosts bothering him.
No, more like HIM, Bothering the ghosts 👻😠😱
