Fire investigators are looking for someone suspected of starting several fires in the downtown area early Tuesday. The four incidents happened near downtown Salt Lake City, along 100 South, between 500 East and 700 East. One of the things that set fire was Winnie Quilter's dad's car, a 1982 BMW 320i. "He always said, next to me, this is his pride and joy," Quilter said. "It was just sentimental; I was maybe going to restore it one day." But her dad's dream went up in flames about 3 a.m. "Somebody torched the car," Quilter said. "It was kind of nuts because if you look at the inside of it, it looks like it exploded, but the cars next to it weren't damaged." The car was parked in the lot next to her dad's condo on 600 East. It is a total loss, but other fires damaged more things.
