EVERSON, Wash. — A suspicious fire damaged the Everson-area home of a Washington State Trooper Tuesday.

They used a garden hose to fight the fire as police and fire personnel responded.

McPhee says the investigation is active and they’re not releasing any information about the fire or possible suspects or motives at this time.
