Pratt calls office fire ‘suspicious’

Last January, Spencer Pratt’s house in Pacific Palisades was razed by the raging flames of the Palisades fire.

Now, there has been what he called a “very suspicious fire” in a building in the neighborhood's tony Highlands area where he maintained an office for his crystals company.

Pratt, a former reality TV star who ran a high-profile campaign for Los Angeles mayor in which he appeared to concede Friday, talked to the California Post about the incident, which was first reported by the Palisadian-Post. According to the company’s website, it sells precious and semiprecious crystal pendants, carvings and chains.

“I want to be careful to not compromise an arson investigation, but this incident is very suspicious,” Pratt told the California Post.

“I will wait for the investigators to make public the details, but this was no accident, and the timing of this... on the heels of all of the contentious election tomfoolery of the last two weeks, it is very suspect, indeed.”

Fire officials have not determined what sparked the blaze, and, in an interview with the Palisadian-Post, the building superintendent said he doesn’t believe the fire is related to Pratt’s campaign for mayor.
