A fire that destroyed the home of a veteran police detective and his family is a case of arson, investigators ruled Friday.


State police took a woman into custody, however, they have not yet released her name.


The intense fire gutted the home on Commons Drive in Lower Pottsgrove Township early Thursday morning.


Detective Ernie Morris, of the Limerick Township Police Department, his wife and their two daughters were vacationing at Walt Disney World in Florida at the time the fire was intentionally set, officials said.


A fund has been established to help the family get back on its feet. Donations to the "Morris Family Fire Fund" can be dropped off at any Citizens Bank branch.


WFMZ's Ryan Hughes is working on this story. He'll have the latest in a live report on 69 News at 5:30.
