More Arson Fires in Longview

LONGVIEW – Two more suspected arson fires have been reported in Longview. With two fires reported on Monday, nearly a dozen suspected arson fires have been reported on the city’s south side since January 10th. One fire was reported Monday morning at 616 West Washington Street. Then, just before 10:45 Monday night, another fire was reported 112 White City Street.

Longview Fire Marshal Johnny Zackary says an ignitable liquid was collected during the investigation of the West Washington Street fire. And while the White City Street fire is believed to be arson, it does not appear to be connected to other recent arson fires in the city. No injuries were reported in either of Monday’s fires.
