According to court documents, Christopher Bott-Fleming, the man charged with arson in connection with last week’s warehouse fire in Mt Pleasant, set off the fire with firecrackers. An affidavit supporting the charges said he bragged about how cool the fireworks were, and what damage they could do. Other witnesses say they saw him and another man lighting fireworks along railroad tracks behind the building.
