Suspicious Fires Under Investigation In South Bay

EL SEGUNDO, CA — Three suspicious small fires occurred in just over a half-hour in an El Segundo neighborhood, according to a broadcast report Monday.

The fires were reported around 11:50 p.m. Sunday and around 12:19 a.m. and 12:27 a.m. Monday, KTLA reported, citing information from El Segundo Fire Department Battalion Chief Casey Snow.

Firefighters quickly extinguished the fires, which were deemed suspicious because they were all in the same area and happened around the same time, Snow told KTLA.

KTLA reported that patio furniture, a portion of a shed at a construction site, and patches of grass were among the many ignited items.

There was no description of a suspect.

Anyone with information about the fires was asked to call the El Segundo Fire Department at 310-524-2395.
