PULLMAN, Wash. (AP) — Three arsons in a week at Washington State University have residents on edge and Pullman authorities looking for a fire bug.
Captain Eric Reiber (RY’-ber) says the latest fire was reported early Tuesday, just after midnight in McCoy Hall, a veterinary building on campus. The arsonist apparently broke in through a window and set multiple fires.
The fire was contained by sprinklers, and most of the loss appears to be water damage.
This follows an arson on Saturday that burned a two-story community building at the Chief Joseph apartment complex and an arson last Tuesday that burned a community building at the Nez Perce apartment complex. Both are university housing.
