>> within just about, you know, a couple minutes, that car port was pretty well enveloped.

>> investigators said the fires had been deliberately set. one firefighter was injured when he fell.

>> very dangerous fires. these can certainly lead to a loss of life injury. so we're very concerned about it.

>> reporter: one of the incidents was at the former home of the late rock star jim morrison . the fire reported at about 1:20 this morning. ironically, morrison, who performed with the doors in the 1960s , was the guy who famously sang, "come on, baby, light my fire ." now arson investigators are combing through surveillance videos to see if they can find out who lit these fires. police arrested two men for arson on thursday, but they were in jail during friday's incident.

>> when this is something that's manmade and someone is actually trying to do harm and trying to cause damage, yeah, that does hit home a little bit with us.
