Law enforcement officials said they have apprehended a man after he, allegedly, set fire to his own apartment in Philadelphia's East Oak Lane neighborhood early Monday morning. According to officials, crews were alerted to a fire at about 5 a.m. in an apartment in a building located along the 6600 block of North 12th Street on Monday. The Philadelphia Fire Department posted an alert about the incident online early Monday. Fire crews were able to get the fire under control in less than a half an hour, officials said. During the incident, officials said one person -- a man who lived at the apartment -- was taken to the hospital after suffering injuries that were not related to the fire. Shortly after the fire was extinguished, police officials said that the person who was injured -- though, the extent of that man's injuries was not immediately available -- was apprehended.
