An already mandated 10:00 p.m. curfew for those under 18 was supposed to be lowered to 8:00 p.m. tonight, but nothing ever surfaced, so plenty of teens were seen on the streets.
Shortly after 8:30 p.m., patrol cars were seen roving the streets, one after another, but that appeared to occur only after repeated phone calls from Action News inquiring about what was or was not going to occur.
A city spokeswoman first told Action News, the curfew was being delayed until this Friday to give parents more warning, but later phoned to say the curfew was still on for tonight, and that officers would likely issue warnings instead of fines.
No teens have been officially tied to the fires.
U.S. Sen. Bob Casey plans to be in the southeastern Pennsylvania city of Coatesville on Monday to discuss the arson problem there.
Since the beginning of the year, 18 fires in /*Coatesville*/ and five in nearby areas have been determined to be arson.
/*Casey*/ is to meet with Coatesville's elected officials and the city fire and police chiefs. Investigators from state police and the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives also plan to attend the meeting.
In addition, the senator is to meet with people whose homes were destroyed in the fires.
Coatesville is about 35 miles west of Philadelphia.
