Updated: State Patrol Searches for Those Responsible for Series of Fires Along I-5, Highway 101 | The Daily Chronicle
The Washington State Patrol is searching for the occupants of a vehicle seen leaving one in a series of 12 brush fires spread between Thurston and Mason counties “at a high rate of speed” Wednesday afternoon.
“Because of how evenly those fires were spread all over I-5 from the Lewis County line all the way up Trosper Road and onto 101 into Mason County, it sure looks like one fire started after the other chronologically from south to north,” Trooper Robert Reyer told The Chronicle.
