Authorities in Georgia have stated that arson is suspected in the six fires that have occurred recently in the LaGrange area.

The most recent fire was discovered last week, a little over a week after the other five fires were discovered. Samples from the latest one have been sent to a lab for testing.

Officials have said that arson is suspected. A tip was recently reported that stated that a black truck was seen near the fires and it is believed that it may be connected. Police are searching for the vehicle at this time.

One man was killed after a house fire accident in northwest Atlanta. The fire broke out just after 12:20 a.m. on Tiger Flowers Drive, but the cause of the fire is still under investigation.

Atlanta fire crews arrived at the scene in order to put the fire out, but they found it difficult to get into the home because of the metal bars on the doors and windows.

The bars are meant to keep burglars out of the home, but it slowed the fire crews down significantly. When crews arrived inside the home, they found the man in the back bedroom and pronounced him dead.

Our thoughts are with the friends and family of the victim in the fire.
