Lubbock fire officials investigate string of blazes as possible arson
A string of fires in central and south Lubbock going back to last week - including one that displaced 10 people from an apartment building - are being investigated as potential cases of arson, the Lubbock Fire Marshal s Office announced Wednesday.
In total, Lubbock fire officials listed nine locations where arson is suspected in fires April 26 and May 4 around the city, and they are asking for the public s help to clear potential fuel sources and to provide more information about who may be behind the blazes. All of these fires appear to be related and intentionally set, reads a statement from Lubbock Fire Rescue. But officials by late Wednesday had not released additional details about how the fires may have been set or other factors.
