Four fires erupted Tuesday morning in Lakewood, Colorado, destroying sixteen vehicles.

All four fires happened within half a mile of each other.

The first, at 04:11, destroyed two vehicles, a garage, and a house.

At 05:11, a second fire destroyed one car.

Then at 05:41, a carport and twelve vehicles in it were torched.

Finally at 06:26, a fourth fire destroyed a handyman's truck and all his tools that were in it.
