Witnesses have identified a Kearney man as the suspect who used road flares to allegedly start a fire at a Kearney mobile home park in February. Shane A. Travis, 44, is charged in Buffalo County Court with felony first-degree arson in the Feb. 2 fire at Countryside Trailer Court No. 98 that resulted in the house being uninhabitable. He was arrested Friday on a warrant. At 3:50 a.m. Feb. 2, the Kearney Volunteer Fire Department was called to 1920 W. 15th St. No. 98 for a structure fire. When firefighters arrived they found a neighbor using a hose to try to extinguish a couch on fire outside against trailer No. 98. The fire spread up the outside wall of the house before being extinguished by firefighters. One man and two women at the house were alerted of the fire by the neighbor and escaped without injuries.
