An arson suspect has been arrested after flames raged through two large homes Thursday morning on the south end of Whidbey Island, officials said.
Crews responded to the scene, in the 5700 block of Capt. Vancouver Drive, southwest of Langley, at around 5:30 a.m. after receiving reports of smoke and flames spewing from a home there.
One home was fully ablaze when firefighters arrived, and the flames were spreading to a second large home next door.
