Rocklin police are asking the public to help identify a person seen near two fires along Sierra College Boulevard, including a Wednesday morning house fire that left a home fully involved.
According to KCRA, the fires were reported near the boulevard on Oct. 25 around 1:30 p.m. and on Nov. 11 around 6:15 a.m. Police say the person of interest was seen near both.
The later fire broke out at a home near the 4900 block of Sierra College Boulevard. Firefighters found the house fully involved. The homeowner was away, and crews reported no injuries. They knocked the fire down before it reached nearby homes. CBS News reported that crews also kept it from spreading into nearby wildland, and that the cause remained under investigation. KCRA said the blaze destroyed the home and forced a road closure in the area.
FOX40 reported that police described the person as a Hispanic or white adult male with dark facial hair. KCRA said he was wearing a multicolored plaid flannel jacket, a hoodie over dark clothing, and work boots.
Anyone with information can call Rocklin police’s non-emergency line at 916-625-5400 and reference case 26-298-6 or 26-315-5. Tips can also be sent anonymously through Sacramento Valley Crime Stoppers.
