Fire that damaged home of California politicians was arson, authorities conclude
A fire that damaged the home of two California politicians earlier this month was purposefully set, authorities said Friday.
Former state legislator Lorena Gonzalez and San Diego County Board of Supervisors Chair Nathan Fletcher, both Democrats, were not injured, but the fire caused an estimated $36,000 in damage, authorities said.
San Diego police Lt. Adam Sharki said Friday that investigators have concluded the fire early on Jan. 12 was arson, but said he could not provide details.
The day of the fire, police Lt. Christian Sharp told NBC San Diego that neighbors called authorities around 4:20 a.m.
Fletcher said at the time that the couple were awoken by their smoke alarms and were able to safely evacuate, according to the station.
