NARRATIVE: On April 1, at 2015 hours, the Spokane Fire Dept responded 4 engines, 2 ladders, 1 rescue, and 2 battalion chiefs to a reported structure fire at 2513 N Regal. The first arriving company, SE8, reported heavy smoke and fire coming from a vacant 3 story wood/brick structure. Due to the large volume of fire and the fact that this structure was vacant, the decision was made to attack the fire in a defensive manner. Heavy hose streams and an aerial device were used to apply large volumes of water from several positions. A collapse zone was established to protect firefighters should the walls fail, which in fact did occur. The fire was extinguished in just under 2 hours. There were no injuries to firefighters or civilians.
PROBABLE CAUSE: The cause is currently under investigation by the Spokane Fire Dept Special Investigations Unit.
DAMAGE EXTENT: Damage was confined to the structure, which was a total loss.
DOLLAR LOSS:
FIREFIGHTER RESPONSE: 25
MUTUAL AID: None Given
