Police say they have made an arrest in a suspected arson fire at an apartment complex near the University of Kentucky campus that broke out Monday morning.
The blaze broke out just before 9 a.m. in the apartment house located at the corner of Kalmia Avenue and Rose Street. Firefighters quickly extinguished the small blaze and there was reportedly very little damage. The fire produced enough smoke to set off detectors in the building, and everybody got out safely.

Officials say 12 to 14 people live in the building, most of them students at UK.
On Monday afternoon, police say they arrested Anthony Moore, 22, and charged him with first-degree arson and three counts of wanton endangerment. Police say Moore had been evicted from an apartment in the complex last week. They say they arrested him after he was found sleeping in some grass on Preston Avenue at about 1 p.m.
There were no reported injuries in the fire.
