It turns out the two dumpster fires on lower Queen Anne over the weekend were intentionally set. As we first told you Saturday, the fires broke out early that morning within minutes of each other at 612 1st Ave W and 417 2nd Ave W.
We’ve been tracking a rash of intentionally set dumpster fires for months. We heard from Seattle Fire officials today who ask that you call the Arson Alarm Hotline at 1-800-55-ARSON if you see anything suspicious. Of course if you see an arson in progress, call 911 immediately.
