91-34 - Olympic (Washington) - Followup on Arson Fires

The Fairholm ranger station and the entrance station at Soleduck 
were completely destroyed by the arson fires on the night of 
February 1st.  The total damage has been estimated at $62,000.  
Investigators believe that the fires were set between 9:30 and 
10:30 p.m. in the evening.  The two buildings are only a mile 
apart.  This is the second time that an arson fire has consumed 
the Soleduck entrance station.  The first incident occurred on 
June 23, 1990, and attempts were also made at that time to set 
the headquarters building in Port Angeles on fire.  A full 
investigation is underway.  [Telephone report from Mike
