Today’s Los Angeles Times is reporting that there have been 40 arsonist-caused fires across Los Angeles in the past three days. Most of the fires were started on cars, some later spread to buildings.

The article reports:

Authorities said they remained unsure whether the fires were the work of one arsonist or several people, perhaps including copycats. Although the majority of the fires have occurred in the Hollywood area, some also were reported in the San Fernando Valley, Westside and as far south as Lennox near the 105 Freeway.

The article states that a security camera at the location of one of the fires may have gotten a picture of the person who lit the fire. The article also states that: 

Police were broadcasting a description of a white man in his mid-30s with a receding hairline and a ponytail.

Hopefully the person (or people) responsible for this can be found quickly and brought to justice.
