The DC Fire and Emergency Medical Services (EMS) Department is seeking a woman suspected to be involved in a number of fires that recently broke out in the Shaw neighborhood.
The overnight fires that took place over the course of two weeks were fueled by “common combustibles,” according to a statement released by DC Fire on Monday.
There has not been any serious property damages so far as the fires have been set outdoors, the Department explained.
