On March 4 Animal Liberation Front extremists tried but failed to set fire to a McDonald's restaurant in Chico, California (see this story for more background). The extremists apparently vandalized a second McDonald's in Chico on March 11.
Employees of the McDonald's contacted police at 7:15 a.m. on March 11 to report that a small fire had been set in an apparent attempt to burn down the restaurant. That failed, but there was some smoke damage to the building.
The words "liberation" and "ALF" were spray painted in red on the building.
