DECATUR - Firefighters are blaming an unidentified arsonist for a rash of 11 fires since Sunday afternoon in DeKalb County.

DeKalb County Fire and Rescue spokesman Eric Jackson told WSB-TV that a Stone Mountain daycare center and church were among the places burned.

``Simply put, we have an arsonist on the loose that's going around and setting businesses on fire for no apparent reason,'' Jackson said.

The first fire was reported 4 p.m. Sunday, and firefighters were still at the scene of other blazes early Monday morning.

Officials say no injuries were reported.
