Police are investigating an arson after a trailer loaded with tree limbs was set ablaze Friday evening in west Salina.
Salina police and firefighters responded to the report of a trailer fire in the 700 block of Willow Drive at approximately 6:10 p.m. Friday. The eight-foot by 10-foot metal framed trailer had wooden floorboards and side supports, and was loaded with tree limbs, Salina Police Captain Paul Forrester said this morning.
The trailer was valued at $1,000.
Forrester said a witness reported hearing a loud pop or bang and then saw what was described as a white Pontiac Grand Am-style vehicle leaving the parking lot of Kwik Shop, 1727 W. Crawford Street.
The Salina Fire Department ruled the fire an arson, Forrester said.
