Police in Los Angeles, with help from federal investigators, were searching Saturday for one or more suspects said to have set more than 30 vehicle fires in one of the worst arson sprees in city history.
Fire officials said they have responded to some 30 fires, including 13 cases of vehicle fire, in the Hollywood area of Los Angeles from late Friday into early Saturday.
During the previous night, there were 21 fires set in Hollywood and West Hollywood according to the Los Angeles Times. In many cases, the fires appeared to have been set within minutes of each other.
Los Angeles Deputy Fire Chief Mario Rueda described it as “a night of managing chaos.â€
