Hillyard garage fire forces crews to use defensive tactics
Spokane firefighters had to work quickly to contain a Hillyard garage fire late Saturday and keep it from spreading. The cause of the fire is under investigation and no one was injured.
The fire, reported at about 7:15 pm, was producing heavy fire and smoke from a detached garage and shop area when crews arrived at 3714 E. Princeton. The large volume of fire within the 20-by-30-foot garage, as well as the numerous contents and suspended material forced the crews to
use defensive tactics to control the fire, which took about an hour.
The cause of the fire is under investigation. Damage was estimated at $20,000. Spokane Fire District 9 firefighters also responded as part of a mutual aid agreement with the city.
