From Thursday night December 29th thru Saturday morning December 31st, Hollywood has been the target of a serial arsonist that has started 39 fires- 21 on the first night alone! LA has had to send hundreds of police, undercover agents, and helicopters into the area, not to mention extra fire fighters to put out the blazes and seek out the person(s) responsible. Not since the 1992 riots has so much damage and panic been started. A bad way to usher in the New Year in California. Areas affected include Hollywood, Lennox, Westside, and the San Fernando Valley. He (or they) hit vehicles first, but the fires extend to apartments and residences too.
