Fire Marshal Calls Three Recent Blazes Suspicious

    Sammamish has been the site of three suspicious fires in recent weeks. Two of the fires took place on the 20500 block of Northeast 29th Street and the third was in a dumpster behind Quality Food Centers at 2902 228th Avenue Southeast.

    Fire Marshal Tim Pilling of Eastside Fire and Rescue said there is no evidence linking the blazes, which were all extinguished quickly and caused minimal damage. He said they may have been the result of mischief that sometimes accompanies the Fourth of July holiday, or improperly discarded cigarettes. There are no indications that the fires were intentionally set.
