An arrest was made less than 24 hours after a fire destroyed two homes and damaged six others in Frisco.
The fire was no accident, happening on the heels of another fire on Monday night just a few miles away from the first scene."Whether it was the one that burned completely, the ground, the one next to it that had the roof, that was damaged," Kelly Kistner, Fire Marshal and Public Information Officer for the Frisco Fire Department said."There were fences that were damaged. Some of the folks across the street had damaged their windows from the heat.
According to Kistner, the arrest came after the fire and police responded to a second fire about three miles west off Haverford Drive around 10 p.m. “When the police department arrived on that particular scene, a subject matching that exact description, matched the picture of the scene fleeing that one,” Kistner said. “ came in as having worn khaki style pants, a red shirt, a blue sweatshirt over the top of it. And we did have a picture of him at that time. And so, when the police department made location there, they found it coming out from between the houses.
"It came from people throughout the neighborhood, from different surveillance cameras," Kistner said."They're not even a permanent resident of North Texas. They were here visiting,” Kistner said."We do have Lewisville Fire Department here with us. That's because one of their investigators is actually the handler for that ATF dog," Kistner said.
