About 200 apple bins were destroyed in a fire early Thursday in Yakima. The Yakima Fire Department says a large stack of apple bins caught fire next to a fruit warehouse around 4:30 a.m. Firefighters used water to prevent the warehouse from catching fire and to keep it from spreading to other stacks of bins. The fire caused some heat damage to the wall and roof of the warehouse. The total dollar loss has not been determined. The fire is considered to be suspicious. The federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) has been called to assist with the investigation.
