Investigators suspect arson for fire behind Fresno Walmart

FRESNO, Calif. (KFSN) -- Investigators think someone set a fire Friday near a southeast Fresno Walmart.

When fire crews arrived at the Walmart Superstore at Peach and Kings Canyon Avenues, they found wood pallets, cardboard, various debris and a fence on fire in a storage area behind the building.

Firefighters gained control of the flames within half an hour.

Investigators say the store's surveillance camera spotted a person in the area before the fire started.

Fresno fire crews also responded to another debris fire 30 minutes later at a recycling center on south Cedar.
