Update: Arson Suspected in PF Capone’s Fire


Jesse Tinsley/Spokesman-Review

Capone's Pub and Grill on Ross Point Road in Post Falls was gutted by fire Wednesday morning around 3 a.m. Employee Kelly Beaudry stands outside the building Wednesday as fire investigators do their work. Arson is suspected.

An explosive early morning fire destroyed Capone's Pub and Grill, and investigators suspect it was caused by arson. A newspaper carrier reported the fire about 3:20 a.m., and firefighters arrived at the scene at 315 N. Ross Point Road to find the building burning, said Post Falls Police Lt. Greg McLean. McLean said the fire was started by an explosion near the restrooms that appears to have been started with a five-gallon gas can filled with an unknown accelerant.
