– An arrest has been made in a 2018 housing complex fire that authorities say was intentionally set,The arrest comes nearly five years after the July 20, 2018, blaze at the Iconic Village and Vintage Pads apartments in San Marcos, a city of almost 70,000 people 30 miles southwest of Austin. The city fire marshal said days after the fire that four bodies were found in a single apartment building, which did not have sprinklers since it was built in 1970 and was code-compliant when constructed.
Later that year, the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives said the fire had been set on purpose, and the five deaths were ruled homicides. Authorities gave little other details, including the name of the suspect. They plan to say more Thursday during a press conference. Copyright 2023 The Associated Press. All rights reserved.
