Three homes were damaged by a fire in Charleston early Sunday morning, and firefighters say it was no accident.
The fire started at a house on Costello Street, which is near Watts Elementary, around 5:30am.
The fire was so large it spread to two homes on either side, damaging those houses.
No one was hurt in the fire, but investigators say they do believe the fire was intentionally set.
Anyone with information on the arson should call the Charleston Fire Department Fire Investigation Bureau at (304) 348-8057.
