Hollywood Arson Fires

Hollywood Arson Fires

2011 New Years Eve Weekend

A historic rash of Fifty three arson fires allegedly set by one suspect during the 2011 New Years Eve weekend kept Los Angeles City and County firefighters scrambling. The fires set within minutes and blocks of each other required a large number of resources from both departments to keep up with the incidents spread over four nights. Many of the fires in the video begin before or as fire equipment is arriving. The video ends with the arrest of the alleged suspect. No fires matching the MO of the previous fifty three fires have occurred since the arrest.
