AUSTIN, Texas -

Investigators say a Central Texas house fire that left seven people hurt was intentionally set.

The Austin Fire Department on Friday announced the arson ruling and provided no immediate details on a possible suspect.

The blaze early Monday injured four children and three adults. Further details on their conditions were not immediately available Friday.

Battalion Chief Palmer Buck has said the victims apparently were asleep in the small house when the fire broke out.
