DAMAGE FROM AN EVENING RESIDENTIAL FIRE LIMITED TO THE ROOM OF ORIGIN

SMOKE DAMAGE THROUGHOUT, CAUSE UNDER INVESTIGATION

**********************************************

 

An evening fire on the north side caused extensive damage to a single-family home. The fire damage was contained to the room where the fire originated.

 

Yesterday at 7:45 p.m., the Spokane Fire Department and crews from Spokane County Fire District 9 were dispatched to a structure fire at a residence in the 7900 block of N. Graycoat Court. First arriving crews reported smoke from the front of the structure with flames visible on the lower back level of the home.

 

Upon making entry into the residence, fire crews were able to quickly extinguish the fire and limit the fire damage to the room where the fire originated. The fire did cause extensive smoke damage throughout the structure. The total property damage is estimated to be $30,000.

 

A quick search of the home was conducted with all residents out of the home. One resident was evaluated on scene by fire crews but the individual refused care.

 

The cause of the fire is under investigation by the Spokane Fire Department Special Investigation Unit.
