The blaze charred the roof and front half of the building on El Toro Road and was about 50 feet from occupied apartments.
A man was captured on surveillance video deliberately setting fire at an apartment complex in Lake Forest this week, officials said.
Video shows the man approaching the leasing office of the River Oaks Apartments in the 20700 block of El Toro Road. He is wearing a black hooded jacket that he uses to obscure his face and is carrying a large bottle with liquid in it. The man walks toward the front of the building and calmly and deliberately pours the accelerant in front of the door, splashing the liquid along the exterior of the building and down a pathway. In the video, he then lights a match and runs away.
Arson investigators think the building was singled out, said the Orange County Fire Authority’s William Lackey.“We do believe it was a specific target. We don’t know the reason for that right now.” We need your help identifying an arsonist in Lake Forest. He set fire to a building in an apartment complex on El Toro Road early yesterday putting residents in danger. He is approx 5’9 and weighs 180 pds. Please call investigator Lackey with suspect info at 714.573.6709.
