YAKIMA, Wash - Firefighters responded to seven different suspicious fires in the Yakima Valley late Monday night and early Tuesday morning.

"This is for sure arson," says Joe Ware, a foreman at Evans Fruit Company in the West Valley, where fruit bins caught fire. That was the first fire reported just before 11:00 Monday night.

Almost an hour later a barn on Prospect Way in Yakima burned to the ground. Fire officials say it was a total loss.
