Arsonists torch curbside furniture in Bellingham

By KOMO Staff
BELLINGHAM, Wash. — Two early-morning fires, both involving furniture set out on the curb, were both set by arsonists, according to investigators.

Firefighters responded to 601 East Holly at 4:56 a.m. on Saturday, then to 1400 high Street at 5:02 a.m. Fire officials believe the furniture were intentionally set on fire in both cases.


Investigators are looking into whether the fires are connected to the string of arson fires that broke out several weeks ago.

Fire officials are urging residents to avoid placing flammable items next to roadways, as they may serve as targets of opportunity for the arsonists.
