An arson kicked off Friday morning on the South Side, with a fire that engulfed a laundry room at the edge of a carport, a Tucson Fire Department spokeswoman said.
The blaze caused $20,000 in damage, but the four people who had been asleep inside the home were not injured, Trish Tracy said.
The blaze broke out just after midnight at a house in the 2100 block of East Wedwick Street, near South Campbell Avenue and East Drexel Road.
Tracy said the blaze, which was under control in eight minutes, had been intentionally set and people should immediately report suspicious activity to 911 or 88-CRIME.
“The information you provide could lead to an arrest and prevent things like this from happening in the future,” she said
