SOUTH PASADENA - Police arrested a man who allegedly set three brush fires along Arroyo Drive early Sunday.

Jesus Vargas, 34, was found and detained southbound on Arroyo Drive near Sterling Place. A resident who interrupted an initial arson attempt confirmed the detainee was the arson suspect, according to the South Pasadena Police Department.
A resident witnessed a man attempting to ignite brush with a cigarette lighter in the 300 block San Pascual Avenue. The suspect fled on foot after the resident went outside to see who the suspect was, according to the South Pasadena Police Department.

Around 12:39 a.m. May 3, firefighters responded to Arroyo Drive to fight the arson fires.

A resident in the 300 block of St. Albans and a driver on the 110 freeway both called to report fire on a hillside, according to the South Pasadena Police Department.

“There were three separate fires burning simultaneously across from the homes in the 300 block, 400 block and the 500 block of Arroyo Drive,” South Pasadena Police said in a written statement.

Firefighters quickly extinguished the flames. No one was injured and no damage was reported.

The arson is being investigated by the Arson Division of the San Marino Fire Department.

SOUTH PASADENA - Firefighters are investigating the cause of a blaze that eventually damaged two homes August 21.

South Pasadena firefighters were dispatched just after 3 p.m. to a home in the 700 block of Charter Oak Street to smoke and flames through the roof. The flames then spread to the roof of a neighboring home, according to the South Pasadena Fire Department.
No one was injured. Two pet cats were rescued while three others were unaccounted for, the South Pasadena Fire Department said.

Firefighters from surrounding departments were called to assist, including Alhambra, Pasadena, Los Angeles, San Marino and San Gabriel.

Firefighters went into a defensive mode after the roof at one home collapsed. Moderate damage and total loss of a detached garage were reported at the other home, the South Pasadena Fire Department said.
