SPOKANE, Wash. — Investigators from the Spokane Fire Department's Special Investigation Unit are asking for the public's help in identifying a suspect accused of at least two arson cases in the Moran Prairie neighborhood. 

Both incidents occurred at the Ace Hardware store at 4416 South Regal Street. The first fire was on July 4 and the second on July 11, both in the early morning.

Investigators are also examining potential involvement in recent brush fires in the area.
