BURTON -- Several more fires broke out overnight at a Burton mobile home park that's experienced a rash of arsons in recent months.

Three more units were damaged or destroyed by fire at the Twin Meadows Mobile Home Park near Bristol Road.

Firefighters said when they first arrived early Friday morning, a vacant home was burning.

"I don't sleep. This is all I got. Everything I own is here," said renter Aaron Gorsuch, who lives near one of the units that caught fire Friday morning.

Gorsuch's girlfriend called police.

There have been between 20-24 fires at the mobile home park since September of 2011.

Resident Joseph Gregoire said that cleaning up has also become an annoyance.

"We're worried. It's just getting to close to home," adds Gregoire.

NBC25 made several calls to the Burton Fire Department, but they were unable to comment on the fires.

Investigators do believe the fires were set on purpose.
