HOUSTON (KTRK) -- Harris County Fire investigators need your help solving an arson after an unidentified man torched a gas station Wednesday in north Houston.

The entire act was caught on video surveillance Wednesday.

Around 5 a.m., arson investigators were called to the Quick Mart at Ella and Highway 249.

The gas station surveillance video shows the man pulling the gas pump handle out and laying it on the ground. He then takes a bottle of accelerant and pours a long line of it across the parking lot and sets it on fire.

No one was hurt, but arson investigators need your help catching the person who did this.
