WORKING SMOKE DETECTOR ALERTS HOMEOWNER TO FIRE
REMINDER TO CHANGE YOUR BATTERIES THIS WEEKEND WITH YOUR CLOCKS
**********************************************
Firefighters contained a fire started by food left cooking unattended to the kitchen of a northeast Spokane home Friday night. The home's lone occupant escaped without injury.
The fire started about 7:30 pm when the homeowner left the kitchen to take a phone call and was extinguished about 10 minutes after firefighter arrived. Smoke damaged additional rooms throughout the home in the 2500 block of N. Upriver Ct. A working smoke detector alerted the homeowner to the fire and prevented her from potential injury, according to firefighters. Damage was estimated at $20,000.
The Spokane Fire Department reminds people to change the batteries in their smoke detectors this weekend when they change their clocks.
