(COLDWATER) - The Branch County Sheriff's Office is looking into what they're calling a suspicious residential fire that broke out Friday night near Bawden Road and Slisher Road. Deputies were called to the scene around 7:20 p.m. on November 21st. Investigators say early findings point to the possibility that the fire was intentionally set. A blue, four-door passenger car was reportedly spotted in the area just before the flames began.

Now, deputies are urging neighbors to check home-security or personal camera footage from that time frame. Any video could help detectives piece together what happened. If you have information, you're asked to call the Branch County Sheriff's Office at (517) 278-2325.
