VIDEO: Authorities in Burien say an early morning fire beneath a State Department of Corrections building was intentionally set. The fire broke out around 6:48 Tuesday morning at the DOC Community Field Office on 8th Avenue Southwest near “Old Burien.” Flames quickly raced through three state-owned vehicles in the parking lot. A DOC employee escaped the building unharmed. He was working construction across the street when he noticed the fire. “Well, I was over here working and happened to look up through the window, this big window where we work at,” said Norvel Aesquivel. “And there were flames just going up and four vehicles started you know going and exploding flames. I mean we had to rush for a phone to call 911.” It didn’t take long for investigators to determine that someone had set the fire.
