A woman was arrested Wednesday in connection with a series of fires in the Sherman Oaks area that authorities described as"suspicious" and later confirmed to have been intentionally set.
About 11:20 p.m. Tuesday, firefighters went to the 13800 block of Ventura Boulevard on a report of an"outside fire'" that extended to a flower shop in a block-long row of commercial buildings, said Brian Humphrey of the Los Angeles Fire Department. About 1:40 a.m. Wednesday, firefighters went to the 4600 block of North Nagle Avenue, south of the Ventura Freeway, where they battled heavy flames at the 1,409-square-foot, one-story home, Humphrey said.
On Wednesday afternoon, LAFD officials issued a statement confirming the fires at the flower shop and the home were"intentional acts" and that a suspect had been arrested.
