Fire Department trying to identify people seen near suspicious fires

The Spokane Fire Department is looking for help identifying two people recorded on surveillance video in the 300 block of East Fifth Avenue shortly before fires started in three vacant homes Sunday. The homes had been recently purchased by new owners, who had plans to renovate them and turn them into office space. A separate fire started in each home and the fires are considered suspicious. Both people seen in the video were riding bicycles. Anyone with information on their identity is asked to call the department’s Special Investigation Unit at (509) 344-3473.
