ROHANE may be wearing a green jacket and boots. Anyone who sees him or knows of his whereabouts is urged to call 9-1-1 right away. Do not approach him.

The Monterey Fire Department responded to 340 Main Road at about 3:50 this morning for a report of a fire. No injuries were reported. Based on an examination of the scene, witness interviews, and other evidence, State Police fire investigators assigned to the State Fire Marshal’s office determined that the fire had been intentionally set.
