Authorities are looking for multiple juvenile suspects after two fires were started at separate buildings on Knoxville College's campus.

D.J. Corcoran with the Knoxville Fire Department said crews responded shortly after noon to a fire in a detached garage on the corner of Knoxville College Drive and College Street. While firefighters were putting that fire out, someone notified them that there was another building on fire.

KFD said the second fire was a "nuisance trash fire." The building was vacant, boarded up and had no electricity.

Investigators are looking for juvenile suspects after a neighbor notified KFD that they saw three juveniles running from the scene.
