From Times Staff and Wire Reports

Police have no suspects and few leads in their investigation of four fires deliberately set in five days.

The most recent occurred Sunday at a downtown law office that was already partially burned by another fire set Thursday, authorities said.

The early morning fire caused about $200,000 in damage, Fire Chief Randy Collins said.

Similarities between that fire and three others set within blocks of each other point to a single arsonist, or several arsonists working together, he said.

All the fires were started by paper products that may have been soaked in flammable liquid.

There have been no injuries, authorities say.
