Mirsa López was arrested on October 12 for allegedly setting fire to a mobile home and killing a man and three dogs.

Dallas – A woman has been charged with arson after she set fire to a mobile home in northwest Dallas, killing a man and three dogs, according to an arrest warrant affidavit.

Dallas firefighters responded to a fire Saturday morning on Lombardy Lane that damaged four mobile homes and four cars.

The statement states that the woman, who was in a relationship with one of the owners, started the fire after he refused to let her in.

Mirsa Lopez told police she had been in a relationship with the owner of the mobile home, Gary Fisher.

Early Saturday morning, Lopez knocked on Fisher’s door while he was sleeping. After Fisher told her to leave and close the door, she went back to bed. Fisher said he heard a loud noise about five minutes later and saw a fire outside.

Lopez allegedly told a neighbor that she started the fire because Fisher wouldn’t let her in to use the bathroom.

According to police, witnesses reported seeing Lopez sitting in a chair outside the burning mobile home.

During questioning, Lopez admitted to intentionally starting the fire with a lighter. He told police he lit a plastic bag on fire and placed it between a car and Fisher’s house.

Lopez said she was upset that Fisher had refused to let her in and that she knew she was inside when she started the fire.

A man and three dogs died in the fire.

Lopez remains in custody at the Lew Sterrett Jail.
