Staff at Foothills Middle School, located at 171 E. Sycamore Avenue in Arcadia, discovered remnants of a small arson fire on the basketball courts Thursday morning.

Juveniles were seen in the area during the time of occurrence which is not uncommon for the school grounds. The school and fields can be accessed from points on surrounding streets including the upper field off of Hillcrest.
