Fire that engulfed a backyard shed and chicken coup spread to a two-car garage in northeast Spokane, but firefighters were able to stop it before it extended inside the garage. No one was injured and damage was estimated at $7,000.
Firefighters were called to a home at 3517 E. Courtland Ave. about 3:30 pm on Thursday. A total of 22 firefighters worked to contain the fire to the chicken coup and exterior of the nearby garage. Avista Utilities de-energize an electrical line that had fallen as a result of the fire.
The cause of the fire is currently under investigation by members of the Spokane Fire Department SIU.
