ALBANY, GA (WALB) -  A young East Albany woman's apartment and all her belongings burned Monday night, and firefighters say it's arson. 

Porsha Love's Crawford Drive apartment caught fire just after midnight. 

Firefighters say it was intentionally set in a bedroom and caused about five thousand dollars worth of damage.

"Everything. Clothes, bed, shoes. Everything," she said.

Love says she will stay with friends while she works to make up her loss. Fire Investigators are looking into who started the fire.
