One man is in custody after a series of fires sprouted in a Sun Valley neighborhood Saturday night.

Fire crews were called to the area of 2nd Ave and Leon Drive around 10:30 PM.

Witness reported at least three small fires in the area.

Investigators think the fires were intentionally set and a suspect was detained at the scene.

Authorites are still looking for a second suspect who fled.

Neighbors in the path of the fire were evacuated as crews worked to quickly extinguish the flames before they damaged any structures.

It's unknown at this time, if the fires or suspect are connected with a series of arson incidents in Sun Valley over the past week.
