Clancy VFD douses potential wildfires; arson suspected

Fires near Clancy, on two separate days, are being investigated for suspected arson. 

There is one male suspect at this time, said Jefferson County Sheriff Craig Doolittle.

The fires were discovered around the time that smoke began creeping eastward from wildfires in California, Oregon and Washington, as well as the State Creek fire, located about 16 miles northwest of Whitehall.
