A 2-acre fire at a logging site east of Stevenson is being investigated as arson, according to Skamania County Sheriff Dave Brown.
In a news release issued Friday, Brown set the damage from the fire at more than $1 million.
Firefighters were called to the site, above the community of Mill A, Thursday morning. They arrived to find fire burning in slash piles and log decks. Three pieces of logging equipment — a log processor and two loaders — were destroyed.
Fire investigators think someone set the equipment on fire, and the flames spread to the logs and slash, Brown said.
