 A man was arrested Sunday for setting three fires in an Ocala hospital.

Daniel Holmes was charged with several counts of arson, according to WKMG. 

Firefighters said there were three fires in the building: at a coffee station, a men’s restroom and a women’s restroom.

Using extinguishers, crews contained the flames to the area of origin at each site, the department reported.

 As crews extinguished the fires inside the hospital, two outside fires were reported in the hospital's vicinity - one behind a local college campus and the other behind a home.
