As firefighters extinguished the flames, new information from the sheriff’s office revealed that a male subject had started the fires and ran into the woods.
The crew was leaving the scene when one of the firefighters spotted the subject hiding in the woods.
The firefighters notified the sheriff’s office and when deputies returned to the scene, they took the suspect into custody on arson charges.
