Arson investigators at Burbank blaze

A suspicious fire has damaged a biodiesel manufacturing facility in the town of Burbank, but the owners don't expect to be out of commission for long.

BURBANK, Wash. —

A suspicious fire has damaged a biodiesel manufacturing facility in the town of Burbank, but the owners don't expect to be out of commission for long.

The fire heavily damaged a warehouse owned by Gen-X Energy Group at the Port of Walla Walla's Burbank Industrial Facility.

Officials for the company say they hope to find a new location at the port within two days.

Arson investigators are looking into the cause of Saturday morning's fire.

The biodiesel plant, which opened in May 2007, was running at about half capacity, producing about 7,200 gallons a day.
