The Fresno Fire Department is asking for the public’s help identifying a person suspected of starting an arson fire at a Days Inn near Jensen Avenue and Highway 99.

The fire was reported around 7 a.m. Saturday, according to the Fresno Fire Department.

Investigators said surveillance video shows a person setting a vehicle on fire before leaving the area in a red Nissan Armada believed to be a 2005-2015 model.

The Fresno Fire Investigations Unit is seeking information that could help identify the person responsible or the vehicle involved.

Got a Tip?

Anyone who recognizes the suspect or the red Nissan Armada is encouraged to contact Fresno Fire investigators at (559) 498-STOP or (559) 621-ARSN.
