BREWSTER - On July 12, 2017, Brewster Police investigated an arson fire at the Alta Vista Apartments in Brewster.

During the investigation a witness identified several young juvenile males playing with a lighter and burning items near the concessions stand just south of the apartment complex. The shrubs and brush were set on fire which spread to the apartment buildings burning two buildings and displacing several families. Three juvenile males were identified as being at the scene where the fire started. They were interviewed and admitted to burning paper near the origin of the fire.

Because of the age of the juvenile males there were no arrests made at this time. This case has been sent to the Okanogan County Prosecutors Office for review and any charges will come from their office.
