Arsonists put lives in danger after striking three times in less than half-an-hour.
Three cars were set alight in the Glory Farm area of Bicester.
At one point they left the town without fire cover.
The first incident happened in Herald Way about 2.54am last Thursday, April 24, morning. Seventeen minutes later a second fire appliance from the Bicester station was called to another fire in Shackleton Close and just seven minutes later a third car fire was reported in Battle Close.
John Nelson, station officer at Bicester Fire Station, said the culprit or culprits were putting people's lives in danger.
He said: "For 20 minutes to half-an-hour period we had no fire cover in Bicester. An appliance had to be despatched from Kidlington."
