Authorities are investigating an arson that occurred overnight at the offices of a Centralia community services organization.<\/p>\n

Fires were intentionally set in two different rooms in the building on the 200 block of West Reynolds Avenue, according to Riverside Fire Authority.<\/p>\n

Damage at Reliable Enterprises is estimated at as much as $10,000, according to a news release.<\/p>\n

Firefighters responding about 2:35 a.m. to an automatic fire alarm found smoke coming from the west side of the building and called for help from fire departments in Chehalis and Rochester, according to the news release.<\/p>\n

Crews were able to get inside and hold the flames to two office rooms, according to Riverside Fire Authority Chief Jim Walkowski.<\/p>\n

Several items of evidence were collected for analysis, the chief said, although he declined to share specifics.<\/p>\n

It was not an accident, it definitely looks like a set fire, Walkowski said.<\/p>\n

“Someone intended to cause significant damage to the building,” he said.<\/p>\n

The fire investigation team has interviewed several people, but have no suspects.<\/p>\n

Reliable Enterprises<\/a> was founded in the 1970s to assist individuals with developmental disabilities.<\/p>\n

The wood and metal building houses administrative offices on one side and the actual business where its clients work on the other.<\/p>\n

They sell donated building and construction products, according to the chief. That side was unaffected and a representative told him it shouldn’t affect daily operations, Walkowski said.<\/p>\n

The damaged offices were two of several like them inside the building.<\/p>\n

Whether they have particular relevance is not yet known, the chief said.<\/p>\n

“We have lots of interviews and lots of leads to work,” Walkowski said. “We don’t have any idea what a motivation might have been.”<\/p>\n

Reliable is also involved in housing services, Head Start and “payee services” assisting clients with managing their money, among other programs, according to information from the organization.<\/p>\n

No injuries were reported.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
