HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) -- A series of fires that may have been intentionally set in the Greater Heights is raising an alarm among residents that there is at least one arsonist on the loose.

Around 3 a.m. on Thursday, Brendan Posterick heard his car alarm go off.

 


When he looked outside, he noticed his Toyota parked at the corner of 18th Street and Harvard was engulfed in flames. His girlfriend, Lauren Hale, quickly called 911.

"It was terrifying," said Hale. "I think I was shaking for probably the next four hours. I told him I was shaking to my core."

Video obtained by ABC13 shows flames shooting up at least 20 to 30 feet at one point.

Y’all  Heights folks stay safe.

What does shaking not to the core look like?

As someone who lives 7 blocks from there, im not concerned

Yeah, sent it to my brother who is also close by, and he just shrugged. Hope it’s nothing, but interesting nonetheless.

Sounds like we have our prime suspect.

yep, is there a reward and tip hotline ???

A few blocks away for a couple more weeks. Plenty of little shits/vandals walking around at night with even shittier parents. 
 

A few years back I parked a very non-descript car on the street and some neighborhood kids popped the lock and rummaged it. Things happen when you park on the street. I remember their was an epidemic of tailgates getting stolen in Heights/GOOF a couple years back. Cars get broken into in gated communities with cameras everywhere. 
 

The best defense is to park your cars in the garage.

After reading the article I'm thinking it's a Surly poster. Do you have an alibi for where you were when this all started?

Shaking, snapping her fingers, she'll be moving up and down, round and round and round

Haha. From there. Not living there. 

Liar. No one over 15 is from there.

It was his side piece 

I went to high school with that dude 

So a poster’s brother suspiciously already knew about the fires before it was on the news and Js has been friends with him since high school. This goes deeper than I thought. 

Sounds like a lot of poor yard management in the Heights.

This is classic misdirection, and we already know you have a flamethrower Hank.

They caught the guy. 28 year old Joshua Roach. A video camera on 2009 W 34th Street picked up his vehicle while he was setting a fire.

They had a gofundme. Wouldn’t insurance cover someone torching your car?

Insurance rarely builds in much profit in their payment.
