NIAGARA FALLS, N.Y. — Niagara Falls Police are still investigating after a number of fires broke out in a Cataract City junkyard earlier this week. The background of one man already arrested in connection with the fires has firefighters on edge. Intense flames from the series of fires which broke out in junked vehicles at the Myles Scrapyard on Lockport Road kept city firefighters from Niagara Falls and other departments very busy from Monday evening and into the early morning hours of Tuesday. Firefighters using a spotlight say they found a person identified as 59-year-old Joseph Gaines hiding amidst the burning vehicles.
