Authorities Search For Lexington Arsonists

A late night prank turns into an early morning loss for one man.

Just before midnight Sunday, Lexington crews were called to a house on Darley Drive after getting a call of a truck that was on fire in the driveway. When firefighters got to the scene, that's what they found. The truck's owner says he was inside his friend's garage, heard a bang, ran outside and saw his Chevy Blazer in flames. Witnesses say someone tossed a firecracker into the truck which caught a pile of clothes on fire.

Investigators say just after that, there was another fire, further down the same street. Officials say someone threw firecrackers into a pile of leaves. At this point, no arrests.
