FRANKLIN COUNTY, N.Y. -- State Police say a fire that killed dozens of farm animals in Franklin County was intentionally set.

The fire happened at a barn on Route 11B in the Town of Bangor just after 1 a.m. Monday. Officials say a passerby saw the fire and alerted the farmer's son by knocking on his door and he called 911.

More than 100 cattle died in the fire.

Senior Investigator Charles Bishop says he believes the fire was intentional. He says evidence shows the fire was ignited using an accelerant.

State Police are working with private fire investigators and are following a number of possible leads. They're asking anyone with information to call State Police at (518) 483-5000.
