Seattle Fire investigators say a string of recent arson incidents includes an intentionally set fire in the garbage cans and dumpsters outside a Capitol Hill apartment building across from Volunteer Park.

The Monday, July 17th fire outside the Parkridge Apartments brought a Seattle Fire response just before 10:30 PM. There were no reported injuries and the flames did not spread to any adjacent structures. The Seattle Fire Marshal determined the fire had been intentionally set.

SFD says the fire was part of a string of suspicious fires across the International District, First Hill, and Capitol Hill that week in which fires were set to debris and in stairwells outside buildings. SFD also responded to a major two-alarm fire in a boarded-up First Hill apartment building on July 13th but the cause of that blaze could not be determined. Firefighters also battled another two-alarm fire on July 20th in the 1000 block of King St.

“The Seattle Fire Department’s fire investigators continue to work closely with the Seattle Police Department’s Arson and Bomb Squad to share information regarding the ongoing investigations,” SFD said about the arson string.

The department also posted tips for property owners to help “reduce the chance of an arson fire at your home or business.”
