"WUSA9.com has learned a handful of volunteer firefighters in Prince 
George's County, Maryland have been suspended as fire investigators try 
to determine if an arson ring has been operating in the county. Sources 
familiar with the investigation, but not authorized to speak for the 
department on the matter, indicate the allegations were brought to the 
attention of the investigators in recent weeks.

According to the sources, the claims center around fires set in homes in 
the county.

No arrests have been made, but due to the serious nature of the 
allegations officials determined the firefighters under investigation 
should not be part of emergency operations as the probe continues.

The Riverdale Volunteer Fire Department, located in the Town of Rivedale 
(SP) Park, is among the departments being investigated. When contacted 
by WUSA9.com Chief Charles Ryan III said, "Riverdale is cooperating 
fully with the investigation". Chief Ryan would not provide further 
comment."
