Two couches were set ablaze in Pullman on Sunday afternoon following Washington State University's 24-10 loss to the University of Washington in the Apple Cup game. Pullman police logs show firefighters extinguished the burning furniture around 5 p.m. on Campus Street and Greek Row.
City officials have previously spoken out against the dangerous trend of setting furniture on fire after football games, noting it can overwhelm emergency resources and divert first responders from other emergencies. The Moscow-Pullman Daily News reports this behavior has occurred regularly since 2016, with smoldering furniture and garbage cans appearing in streets after games.
