A Florida man is behind bars after firefighters found four people and three dogs dead in a home he set on fire, authorities say.

Hillsborough County Fire Rescue received a call shortly after midnight Wednesday from a homeowner saying there were smoke and flames inside the house with three people and five dogs trapped inside. Crews arrived at the manufactured home near Plant City about eight minutes later to find a working fire in a house about 100 yards from the main road, the agency said. Firefighters entered the home and removed three people through a bedroom window. However, all three were pronounced dead.
