Someone is starting fires in Emmerdale<\/h2>\n

Robert and Aaron have found themselves targeted since they took over Emmerdale Farm. There was a fire a few weeks ago that looked like it was started by Joe Tate as a warning to Robert<\/a> over keeping his mouth shut.<\/p>\n

But last week a mystery hooded figure set light to some hay bales. Aaron is convinced Joe is also behind this fire, but Robert isn\u2019t so sure. He is wondering why Joe wouldn\u2019t just evict him if he wanted revenge, why go to the trouble of setting fires. He\u2019s got a point.<\/p>\n
