The two-alarm blaze that burned four homes in Northeast Washington on Wednesday was set on purpose, and investigators have a good lead on a suspect, D.C. fire officials said Thursday.

The raging fire displaced 12 people from their homes, and neighbors and firefighters helped pull an 83-year-old woman in a wheelchair and two cats from the burning houses, D.C. fire officials said.
