One man was arrested Sunday night after a series of vehicle fires and at least one structure fire in Old Colorado City, according to Colorado Springs police.

Bernie Hidalgo, 28, could face several misdemeanor and felony charges, including arson, police said.

Crews from the Colorado Springs Fire Department were dispatched to a vehicle on fire in an alleyway in the 2700 block of West Pikes Peak Avenue at about 8:50 p.m., officials said. The fire was threatening a nearby garage at a townhome.

Less than 30 minutes later, a second vehicle fire in the 2400 block of West Kiowa Street, also endangering a structure, was reported with CSPD and CSFD personnel responding. Calls about a third vehicle fire in the 2000 block of West Kiowa, were reported at about 10:15 p.m., according to police and firefighting sources. The third fire also involved a car and carport on fire.

When police determined that all three fires were likely set by the same individual and the suspect had possibly stolen a gun from one of the vehicles, CSPD issued a shelter-in-place notice to the neighborhood, deploying several officers to search for the suspect.

Acting on a tip from a homeowner who believed they had seen the suspect in their backyard, and with the help of a CSFD drone, officers found Hidalgo in the 2000 block of Armstrong Avenue and arrested him without incident.

The allegedly stolen firearm was recovered during the arrest and the shelter-in-place order was lifted a short time later, officials said.

“We work with our brothers and sisters in blue every day, but it isn’t always apparent what that partnership looks like,” CSFD Fire Chief Randy Royal said in a media statement Monday. “This is a true example of what it looks like to live in a city where police officers and firefighters work side by side to ensure our community is the safest it can be.”
