Surveillance cameras that point down Tehama Street may provide investigators with clues for who is setting the string dumpster fires that the Fire Department has been putting out the last few weeks. So far they say that no one has been injured and no structure damage has occurred.

Early Thursday morning, another fire was set at 16th and Hoff Streets in the Mission District.
