University officials are investigating a fire that destroyed the wooden deck of the Theta Chi fraternity house at Washington State University.
The fire, which happened late on Sunday, September 16, appears to be linked to several fires that happened outside of the fraternity house.
According to police, investigators found five separate ignition points near the Chi fraternity house, including in the patio area and front of the house.

Firefighters arrived on the scene and extinguished the fire but the wooden deck was destroyed. Firefighters also found a fire at the front of the house that students had doused with a garden hose and an attempted fire in the patio area. Fire investigator Tony Nuttman said firefighters found five different ignition points around the house.
There was also some heat damage to a Honda car and a dumpster that were located near the wooden deck. One window in the back of the fraternity house was broken from the heat, the news release said.
There were no injuries and the Theta Chi house was not damaged. Police officers said the fraternity members cooperated with officials and investigators gathered evidence from the scene.
At this time, there are no suspects or motives. Police say investigators are still gathering evidence at this time.
