Arson investigation underway in CdA grass fire

Two fire engines and a ladder truck responded to get the blaze under control.

Investigators said the fire was similar to fires earlier this summer believed to be the work of a serial arsonist operating in the Dalton Gardens and Hayden Lake areas.

At least 16 fires have been set in that area near homes this summer. None caused serious damage or injuries.

Investigation into Thursday’s fire is ongoing. Anyone with information should contact the Coeur d’Alene police department at (208) 769-2320 or email policetips@cdaid.org.
