INVESTIGATORS TRYING TO DETERMINE CAUSE OF FIRE
VACANT, BOARDED UP NORTHEAST SPOKANE HOME DAMAGED
**********************************************
Spokane fire investigators are trying to determine what caused a fire that damaged a vacant and boarded up home in northeast Spokane.
Firefighters were called to the home at the intersection of Euclid and Altamont just after 11 pm Wednesday. First arriving units found a vacant, boarded up house with fire on the exterior in the back.
The fire quickly extended up the exterior wall and into the interior of the house. Firefighters were hampered by boarded up windows and secured doors. While several crews attacked the fire, others searched the structure for potential victims. None were found.
The fire caused extensive damage to the back and the roof of the structure. Damage was estimated at $30,000. The cause is currently under investigation by the Special Investigations Unit.
