Although there are ways to enjoy the hobby of playing with fire without putting other people in danger, sadly, everyone either doesn't know that these options exist or choose to purposely ignore them. Either way, playing with fire in an unsafe way only leads to danger or criminal charges.

In this case, a Michigan man or woman, may be facing arson charges as police investigate a string of small fires that were set by what believe to be the same person or group. The Calhoun County Sheriff's office says they are looking into 5 separate fires that were set on Homer over the past few months.

All 5 of the fires were small and quickly contained but set in the 400 block of South Webster Road in Homer and believed to have been set intentionally. As of right now all they have is the evidence from these fires and that they believe its arson but no answers at the moment.

They are asking residents and any neighbors to report anything they may know, any suspicious activity they see, and if they would turn over surveillance footage of the area on the date in question.
