Fire investigators were in Medway on Monday, trying to figure out what sparked two fires there Sunday night.

Crews from several towns responded to the Medway Road around eight p.m.

Flames gutted the back of an abandoned house. Nearby, a separate fire burned another abandoned house.

No one was injured.

The Fire Marshal's office says it looks like someone was involved in starting the fires, since both homes were empty and neither had electricity hooked up.

"One had been set on fire and the other one had a small fire that didn't go, it ended up burning itself out. It looks right now like both fires are human element fires," says Scott Richardson, senior fire investigator with the Fire Marshal's office.

They took samples from the scene today and say the investigation continues. They are still looking into who owns those homes.
