GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. – Grand Rapids police are looking for information into an apparent arson from Wednesday.

The first fire started just before 6:00am on the back porch of the home. Firefighters were able to quickly put out the fire. The fire investigator arrived at 9:30am and then left the scene secured at about 10:00am.

About an hour later, crews were called back to the scene for another fire in a different part of the home.  This fire was also put out quickly.
