Burn patterns led fire investigators to determine that the fire had been intentionally set, WBNS reported.
Video evidence obtained by investigators reportedly shows a customer, later identified as Foster, entering the area several minutes before the fire started.
WBNS reported that Foster is also the primary suspect in a second suspected arson at a business near the gas station. That fire happened minutes after the first fire.
There have not been any charges filed connected to the second fire at this time.
Foster was arrested and remains booked in the Franklin County Jail. He’s being held on a $750,000 bond.
Foster’s next court date is currently scheduled for Dec. 12.
