BACKGROUND
FIRE DETAILS & INVESTIGATION
The Tunnel Five Fire ignited in Skamania County on July 2, 2023, forcing residents to evacuate the area. In addition to causing extensive personal and property damage, the fire closed down Washington State Route 14 between mile markers 56 and 65.
The fire, which spread across 500+ acres, was reported as 100% contained by July 11. Over 250 homes were threatened and at least 10 homes burned. The Washington DNR has determined the fire was caused by debris from brakes and exhaust particles from a BNSF locomotive engine. BNSF Railway is a company with a history of creating small fires across the state due to negligence.
Singleton Schreiber is preparing a legal case against BNSF to hold the company accountable for its role in the fire. Our goal is to recover the fair and full compensation that people need to move forward with their lives.
