Two more blazes hit Accomack County over the weekend.

On Sunday evening, Virginia State Police report that an abandoned two story building on Saxis Road in Termperanceville was on fire around 9:30 p.m.

Another fire broke out in Nelsonia around 9:30 p.m. on Saturday night.

Virginia State Police said it occurred when a wide metal trailer caught fire on Lankford.

Police said the single trailer was unoccupied and used by the owners to block the public from looking into the back of their property. 

No injuries were reported.

WBOC reports police have not yet determined if either fire is connected to the recent string of arsons under criminal investigation in Accomack County.
