RUTLAND, Vt. (AP) – A series of suspicious early morning fires Friday kept firefighters busy all night, with two of the fires happening in houses across the street from each other.

Later in the morning, police arrested Adrian Barber, 18, a resident of the neighborhood where the fires took place, and said he would be arraigned Monday on at leat one count of arson.

Firefighters were first called to a car fire in a parking lot shortly after midnight.

Later they put out a fire in a trash barrel below a fire escape at an apartment building, minutes before being called to a house fire around 3:19 a.m.

When firefighters arrived at the house, a man was trapped on the roof. He was rescued, unharmed.

While firefighters were battling that fire, a second house burst into flames across the street and collapsed, said Lt. William Lovett of the Rutland City Fire Department.

The house was being renovated and was unoccupied.

The first home was heavily damaged.

One firefighter was taken to the hospital where he was treated and released, said Lovett.
