NARRATIVE: On 06/08/09 at approximately 0232 hrs units of the City of Spokane Fire Department responded to 303 W North River Drive, Red Lion Inn at the Park Hotel, upon activation of the fire alarm system. First arriving crews could smell smoke but initially did not see any active fire. Upon further investigation SFD crews found a fire in the laundry room in the lower level of the hotel. Firefighters advanced pre-connected hose-lines to the fire area, and with the assistance of the sprinkler system quickly extinguished the fire. Many tenants of the hotel had evacuated the building prior to the arrival of firefighters on scene.
While the fire was being extinguished, other SFD units checked the floors above the fire to assure no fire extension to those areas. Once all areas of the hotel were determined to be safe tenants were allowed to return to their rooms.
A total of 31 firefighters on 10 apparatus fought this blaze. No injuries to firefighters or civilians were reported. Firefighters remained on scene until approximately 0500 hrs.
