The Texarkana Arkansas Fire Department is investigating a string of arsons after four vacant buildings caught fire early on June 18. All were within a one-mile radius and had no utilities, leading investigators to rule them as intentionally set.
Fire Chief David Fletcher says no one was hurt, but a nearby vehicle was damaged. He noted all fires started outside the structures, and samples have been sent to the crime lab to identify possible accelerants.
Authorities believe the fires are connected and are reviewing camera footage while asking the public for tips. Residents are urged to stay alert and report any suspicious activity.
