It was later learned Molina-Menendez had been employed at the warehouse business but had been fired, the report said.

Molina-Menendez was also caught on video at the scene during the time the fire started holding a red container, the report said.
Molina-Menendez was arrested and booked into jail. Attorney information wasn't available.
