Louisiana - A Louisiana man has been arrested and is suspected of aggravated arson after allegedly setting fire to a relative's occupied mobile home. The Louisiana State Fire Marshal's Office (LASFM) revealed on November 21, 2022, that they had arrested a Springfield, Louisiana man for allegedly setting fire to a relative's occupied mobile home.

On Tuesday, November 15, the Livingston Fire District #2 responded to a call of a mobile home fire in the 28000 block of Clio Landing Road in Springfield, Louisiana. At the time of the fire, there was only one inhabitant inside the dwelling, but they escaped unharmed.

Deputies assessed the site and discovered that there were many points of origin, including all of the home's exit doors, and that the flames were purposefully started.
