LAKE PARK, Minn. — A Lake Park firefighter is facing arson charges for allegedly setting several grass fires last year.
Michael Lyn Gullard, 35, has been summoned to appear in court March 9 to face the felony charges. Fellow Lake Park firefighters started to become suspicious after a sharp increase in grass fires that happened throughout April and May last year.
“It was a wet year — it was raining in June when we were having all these fires,” said Lake Park Police Chief Jay Nelson, who was also a volunteer firefighter at the time. “We knew somebody had to be starting them.”
