Authorities have identified the two Park Hills volunteer firefighters charged with a string of arsons in St. Francois County.

Twenty-nine-year-old Bradley J. Easter and 22-year-old Dale R. Hamor are accused of intentionally setting six fires earlier this year. They remain at the county jail on $100,000 bonds.

The Daily Journal newspaper in Park Hills reports that Easter told police he drove Hamor to the scene of house fires, and then picked up his colleague. The two then joined other firefighters to fight the blazes they allegedly set.
