Vacant house fire under investigation
A fire at a vacant house remains under investigation by the Spokane Fire Department’s Special Investigation Unit.
Just before 9:30 a.m. on Tuesday morning, the Spokane Fire Department responded to the 2000 block of W. Augusta Ave. on a report of a residential structure fire. The first arriving crew reported moderate smoke conditions from the front of the house with smoke showing from the eave lines of the home.
Firefighters immediately conducted an aggressive coordinated attack and brought the fire under control within five minutes. The house was reported vacant, but a primary search was conducted to ensure no one was inside the structure.
No injuries to civilians or firefighters were reported.
The fire caused moderate damage to the kitchen area and attic structural members along with smoke damage throughout the structure.
