The last thing Edgar Castaneda thought he'd hear early Easter Sunday would be that his family's food truck would be one of several structures senselessly set on fire in Renton.
“This is our livelihood,” he said. “This is what we make money off of and pay our bills and feed our children."
It's heartbreaking for Edgar and his family who started the truck back in August after he and his father, Louis, lost their jobs because of the pandemic.
After only about eight months of successful business it went up in flames.
“All of the sudden, at 6 in the morning I get like 10 calls out of nowhere and I was like, I thought they were trying to ask me something about Easter but it was about their business burning down,” Castaneda said.
The last thing he thought he'd have to see is the debris from all their hard work.
“First thing I see is my dad crying so that’s really hard as a son,” Castaneda said.
Sadly, the Castaneda’s weren't the only ones affected by fires set in Renton.
