Arsonists Set Brush Fires By I-5 Near Seattle

"Two men are suspected of sparking at least nine brush fires as they drove along I-5 through Snohomish and Skagit County, according to Washington State Patrol investigators.

The first brush fires broke out just after noon and peppered a 12-mile stretch of freeway between milepost 207 in Arlington and the Snohomish River Bridge in Everett.

"We do believe the fires were set intentionally," said Trooper Heather Aktman.

Aktman said a deputy saw two men in their 50s driving a Hyundai Sonata that had stopped along the freeway at one location and was trying to light a fire with a road flare. A deputy tried to contact them but they fled. It's unclear if that's how the other fires started, Aktman said."
