Firefighters extinguished two fires at Central Coast apartment complexes, which they believe were intentionally set.
The fires were reported just before 3 a.m. Sunday in Santa Maria. One was at an apartment complex on Bunny Avenue, the other was on Biscayne Street. Both fires were in carports.
Santa Maria firefighters stopped both blazes before they reached any of the apartment units, but at least one vehicle was destroyed.
Fire investigators believe the two cases are related. They are now trying to determine if they're connected to a string of apartment complex carport fires last May and June, which destroyed some vehicles.
