Authorities Looking For Possible Serial Arsonist On South Coast

Public safety officials say they are looking for a possible serial arsonist in Ventura County.  More than a half dozen fires were intentionally started in the Ventura area Wednesday and Thursday.

The blazes ranged from some trees in an agricultural area to some dumpster fires.

No serious damage was caused, but investigators say evidence including information from witnesses shows the blazes weren’t accidental.
