Investigators are saying something looked odd about the entire situation and now they believe it is the sixth fire in a string of arsons that have popped up in the area.
Those other fires occurred in Jessamine, Scott, Garrard and Fayette Counties. Investigators say the fires happen at a similar time of day, usually between 11 a.m. and 2 p.m. The home is burglarized and then set on fire.

Police believe that a gray or silver Chevy Cobalt could be involved in these fire.
