A Mt. Lebanon volunteer firefighter is free on bond on charges that he set a small fire last month so he could watch it burn.
Gene R. Peck, 20, was arrested Thursday on six counts of reckless endangerment, three counts of arson, and one count each of risking a catastrophe, criminal mischief and making false reports to law enforcement.
Mr. Peck is the son of Allegheny County judge candidate Michele Zappala Peck and the nephew of District Attorney Stephen A. Zappala Jr. He is charged in connection with a trash-can fire April 29 that scorched the side of an apartment building on Overlook Drive
