Man charged in Smoke Hole Caverns arsons

By The Associated Press

A 24-year-old man has been charged with setting two fires that destroyed the gift shop and restaurant at a popular West Virginia tourist attraction, Smoke Hole Caverns.

Brent Combs of Cabins is charged with first-degree arson, second-degree arson and three counts of causing injury by arson.

They stem from fires set Nov. 10 and 11.

Combs was being held Friday at the Potomac Highlands Regional Jail on $285,000 bond.

Grant County sheriff’s deputies say they don’t know the motive for the blazes, which remain under investigation by the state fire marshal.

Smoke Hole Caverns is on Route 55 between Seneca Rocks and Petersburg.
