NARRATIVE: On December 28, 2008 at 6:10 AM, five Chief Officers from the SFD, a Senior Ladder Company and a logistical support apparatus (fuel truck) was dispatched to assist Spokane County Fire District 10 at the building fire located at 3715 South Grove Road on the West Plains. The building was owned/occupied by the Seventh-day Adventist Church and was their Regional Headquarters. The SFD Chiefs were utilized in "overhead" capacities as part of the Spokane County Type III All-Risk Incident Management Team. SFD's Ladder 4 was called specifically to operate on the roof and perform a "trench cut" in order to aid in stopping the progression of the fire. The trench cut was accomplished in cooperation with Cheney's Pumper-Ladder Company and was performed in extremely difficult fire conditions. The companies on the roof also had to contend with over 24 inches of snow which had to be removed prior to working on the roof.
The SFD overhead members were on scene for over eight hours and were instrumental in participating with the inter-agency effort. Any questions related to the Seventh-day Adventist Church fire should be directed to Fire District 10 Chief Nick Scharff at their Administrative Office 509.244.2425.
