Apartment fires on the Southeast Side early Monday appear to be arson, investigators said.
A blaze in the 7000 block of East Golf Links Road near Kolb Road caused $40,000 in damage but no injuries, said Capt. Tricia Tracy, a Tucson Fire Department spokeswoman.
A woman was sleeping when “something woke her up” around 3:30 a.m. She noticed smoke, fled the apartment and called 911, Tracy said.
When firefighters arrived, they saw two fires in separate locations at the Pebble Creek Apartments and determined the cause could be arson, she said.
The woman will be allowed to stay in another apartment, Tracy said.
