D.C. authorities have arrested a suspect following a series of fires in Northwest.
Most of the fires happened along Wisconsin Avenue in Tenleytown.
Investigators said they believe the fires — which damaged two businesses near the Tenleytown Metro station Monday night — were intentionally set. The fires were set in outside trash cans and dumpsters.
