A wave of arson hit Charleston's West Side early Friday morning.
Five vehicles and house were torched doing the fire starting spree.
Investigators suspect most, if not all, the fires are linked.
The fire on Randolph Street and three others on Garrison Avenue kept firefighters busy.
Charleston Fire Department Asst. Chief, Eugene Perry says, "All of them seem to have been broken into and pilfered and then fire poured in the seats."
Fire investigators stopped short of linking these fire with Thursday's arson at the Barge Restaurant, but they could not rule it out.
If you have information on these fires, call the arson hotline at 1-800-233-FIRE.
