CHEHALIS – Authorities believe someone torched a Maserati discovered burning alongside a remote rural Lewis County road during the night.

Firefighters responding to a 2:30 a.m. call of a vehicle fire on the 900 block of Big Hanaford Road east of Centralia arrived to find the passenger car well-involved in fire, according to Riverside Fire Authority.

“The fire was quickly brought under controlled and extinguished without damage to other property,” Fire Capt. Scott Weinert wrote in a brief summary of the incident.

The location is near the TransAlta power plant.

The 2012 Maserati Quattroporte is registered to a Seattle resident, according to Weinert.

The Italian luxury car was parked off the roadway and is a total loss. The cause is presumed to be arson, Weinert wrote.
