The man, Chad Ingram, 29, “was mixing chemicals to see if they would burn,” police spokesman Officer Gordon Shyy said. “Obviously, it worked.”
Ingram was arrested and booked into jail on suspicion of unlawfully causing a fire, Shyy said.
No one was injured in the blaze, which was contained to the home where it started and was extinguished by about 4:25 a.m., fire officials said.
