The fire on July 20, 2018 also displaced 200 people. The federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives has said the fire had been set on purpose. The five deaths have been ruled homicides. Authorities announced the arrest Wednesday but released few details, including the name of the suspect.
