A 33-year-old East Greenbush man is sitting in jail after it was discovered that he allegedly set a car on fire.

Really? This gives a whole meaning to the term "hot off the press"!Luckily some vigilant neighbors were keeping a good eye on their neighborhood or this story might not have had a safe ending.
