02/08/12: At 3 p.m. the fire department reported to a construction site off of Los Quartos Inn in response to a fire that had already been put out. Police officers were already on scene when fire personnel arrived. The police department first chose not to involve the fire department because the fire had been extinguished for a while. But, an insurance company had called for a full fire report. The job superintendent at the construction site told fire crews that three pallets of exterior finish product and some styrofoam had burned. The superintendent said the fire occurred overnight but was out and cold by the time morning arrived. Crews found evidence of the fire as described on the floor. There was no outstanding evidence that this was an intentional fire due to limited damage and materials found near the building.
