Authorities search for arsonist who set fire to a house four times in one night.

HOUSTON -- One house was set on fire four times in one night in northeast Houston late Friday. Now, investigators say they are looking for the arsonist behind it.

Firefighters were first called to the home on Lyons and Capron Street in northeast Houston around 11:30 p.m.

After the fire was put out, firefighters were called back again -- and two more times after that.

Fire officials say the suspects used a lot of accelerant the fourth time, to make sure the fire kept going.

No injuries were reported.
