When crews arrived, a number of homes were on fire, with four "experiencing extensive damage," and two "considered complete losses," according to police.
The total damage is estimated to be $4.5 million.
The fire was determined to be arson and started between 5:55 p.m. and 7:30 p.m., according to police.
