possibly damaged in the fire.<\/p>\n<p>Investigators believe the incident is connected to two other arson incidents in Portland and SW Washington.<\/p>\n<p>KATU was on the scene at Fisher&#8217;s Landing Transit Center in Vancouver shortly after 4 a.m., where heavy smoke was seen coming from inside a drop-off ballot box.<\/p>\n<div id=\"interstory_first_ddb_0\"><\/div>\n<p>Our photographer Evan Bell captured grey smoke steadily billowing out of the Park and Ride ballot box at Fisher&#8217;s Landing Transit Center near Southeast 162nd Avenue.<\/p>\n<p>Multiple police units were in the area, and the ballot box was cordoned off by police tape as it continued to smoke.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"index-module_columnTwoWrapper__WkWQ\">\n<div
