Los Angeles authorities said Friday that arson was the cause of some 19 fires to cars, houses, and other buildings in Hollywood and West Hollywood. Police issued a citywide alert early Friday morning as firefighters scrambled overnight to put out the fires. The fires come just one day after police arrested Samuel Arrington, 22, in connection with three arsons that occurred on a five-block stretch of Sunset Boulevard Thursday morning—but police are not sure if Friday’s blazes were the work of a copycat or if there was a mistaken arrest. One of the homes set ablaze Friday was the former home of late rock legend Jim Morrison.
