1Opinion of the Court

John I. Purtle, Justice.

On June 26,1987, a jury returned verdicts finding the appellant guilty of two counts of arson, four counts of burglary, and one count of theft of property. His punishment was assessed at twenty (20) years each on the arson counts and ten (10) years each on the other five convictions, the sentences to be served consecutively. His sole argument on appeal is that the evidence was insufficient to support the arson convictions. We agree, and reverse and dismiss the arson convictions. The judgment ás to the other five convictions is affirmed.
