The investigation is ramping up in the search for a serial arsonist after a sixth fire is being investigated as possibly connected to the others.
Before Monday’s Madison County fire, five homes had been set on fire in four different counties. Most of the homes have been hit between the hours of 11 a.m. until 2 p.m.
After working through the weekend, LEX 18 has learned arson investigators from the four counties met this morning to compare notes and try to track down the person they believe has set all five fires.

The homes have been located in Lexington, Garrard, Jessamine and Scott Counties. The homeowners were not home at the time the fires were set and all the homes were burglarized.
State Police believe a silver or gray Chevy Cavalier or Cobalt may be involved. Police say they have several suspects in mind but they are trying to build their case. Investigators say this arsonist appears to carefully pick his targets.
Everyone should report suspicious activity such as someone driving around slowly in your neighborhood or a vehicle you don’t recognize.
