SILVER SPRING, Md. — A Silver Spring man has been charged with arson for a fire set at a vacant Landover Hills home last year.
Fire officials say Anthony J. Sellers, 26, was arrested last week.
Sellers is charged with second-degree arson for a June 2008 fire.
The felony charge carries a maximum penalty of 20 years in jail and a $30,000 fine.
Firefighters were called to the two-story home for heavy fire coming from the second floor and roof.
One firefighter suffered burns to his leg while battling the blaze.
Prince George’s County fire officials say additional charges are pending against Sellers for fires set in two other vacant structures in Laurel and Riverdale last summer.
