Coeur d’Alene fire work of arsonist
A Thursday evening grass fire that burned an area about the size of a city block in Coeur d’Alene was the work of an arsonist, investigators have determined.
The fire started around 6:40 p.m. near the vacant motel on Northwest Boulevard near West Davidson Avenue, according to a news release from the Coeur d’Alene Police Department.
Two fire engines and a ladder truck responded to get the blaze under control.
Investigators said the fire was similar to fires earlier this summer believed to be the work of a serial arsonist operating in the Dalton Gardens and Hayden Lake areas.
At least 16 fires have been set in that area near homes this summer. None caused serious damage or injuries.
