Mount Vernon, Washington- Firefighters from the Mount Vernon Fire Department responded to reports of a line of trees on fire with exposure to the Summerson Greenhouse buildings around 8:00 pm on July 29th, 2016.
Firefighters were able to quickly gain access to the locked parking lot on one side of the fire and they fought the fire from the parking lot of a nearby apartment complex on the other side of the fire.

The tree line sustained heavy fire damage and some wooden structures on the Summerson Greenhouse side of the fire were damaged. Firefighters quickly had the fire contained.
A witness, Carl Loeb wrote on the Skagit Breaking Facebook page that “ The fire was started by the folks (kid) next door who set fire to the pyramadalis between the two properties that in turn set some wood frame structures on fire.”
Below are photos of the incident submitted to SkagitBreaking.com by a witness.
