BRUSH FIRE DESTROYS ONE HOME

• Three travel trailers, including one which was someone’s home, were lost when a brush fire broke out north of Littlerock today. Nobody was injured, according to West Thurston Regional Fire Authority. Multiple agencies responded to the approximately 12:30 p.m. call to the 2900 block 85th Avenue, according to Lt. Lanette Dyer. The fast moving fire was made more difficult by shifting winds, dense vegetation, car bodies and building supplies on the property, Dyer indicated. It was confined to a half acre, she said.

GRASS NEXT TO FREEWAY CATCHES FIRE

• Chehalis firefighters were called about 9:30 a.m. yesterday to a “relatively” small grass fire in between the southbound onramp at Main Street and Interstate 5. Fire Capt. Ted McCarty said when they arrived, a crew with the Department of Transportation had a garden hose on it, from their truck. It was stopped at roughly 50 feet by 100 feet, McCarty said. He said he couldn’t say for sure what sparked the fire, but the area was littered with cigarette butts. The ticket for tossing a lit cigarette out of a vehicle is $1,025.

FRAUD

• Chehalis police were contacted by a person from Northeast Kresky Avenue yesterday who discovered someone using their account information to write bad checks. The case is under investigation, according to the Chehalis Police Department.

ZOOM, ZOOM

• A high-speed police pursuit down Interstate 5 ended with a wreck at Centralia and the arrest of two individuals last night near Mellen Street at around 11:40 p.m. The accident is being investigated by troopers and the pair were turned over to the Tacoma Police Department, according to the Centralia Police Department.

AND MORE

• And as usual, other incidents such as arrests for warrants, misdemeanor assault, driving with a suspended license, allowing an unauthorized person to drive; responses for alarm, dispute, disorderly person, misdemeanor theft, suspicious circumstances, collision on city street, possible car prowler in a parking lot … and more.

CORRECTION: This has been updated to reflect the fire in Littlerock happened today, not yesterday.
