Captain Jake Heflin with the Long Beach Fire Department told KNX News reporter Emily Valdez all the fires are concentrated in the area from "the Convention Center down to Chestnut off of Seaside."

Captain Heflin said, "The fact that those fires are all combined in that geographical location, and they are similar in nature, lends itself to the fact that they're probably connected."
