Police arrested a man for allegedly setting bushes and the basement of his Rose Village house on fire.
The man, Colby L. Aplin, 25, of Vancouver was arrested on suspicion of first-degree arson, said Kim Kapp, Vancouver police spokeswoman.
Police responded to reports that a male resident of a home at 3102 M St. was trying to set bushes on fire just before midnight Monday, according to emergency dispatch logs.
When police arrived they found smoke coming from the basement and called the Vancouver Fire Department, Kapp said.
