NARRATIVE: On 07/09/2010 at 0508 hours, the Spokane Fire Department responded 4 engines, 1 ladder, 1 rescue, and 2 battalion chiefs to a reported structure fire at 801 E Hoffman. First arriving SE15 reported smoke coming from one of the units of a single story duplex. After ensuring all occupants were evacuated from both units, companies began a coordinated attack on the fire, which was located in the kitchen area. Crews achieved a quick knock down and were able to limit the damage to the structure. Of special note is the fact that the tenents stated they were awakened by the smoke detector, which gave them early enough warning that they were able to exit the structure without injury. The unit is uninhabitable due to smoke damage and the tenents are being assisted by the Red Cross.
PROBABLE CAUSE: The fire is under investigation by the Spokane Fire Department SIU.
DAMAGE EXTENT: Damaged was confined to the kitchen area with smoke damage throughout the affected unit.
