Five dogs and a cat were rescued from the vet clinic after it was intentionally set on fire on Nov. 4. Sgt. Rick Sapp said the North Branch Police Department has been dealing with “five to 10 various fires with similar circumstances since May,” which have escalated from “dumpster fires to structure fires.”
