Last night at 6:35 p.m., the Spokane Fire Department responded on a report of a travel trailer on fire in the 1900 Block of W. 15th Ave. First arriving crews found a 5th wheel trailer fully involved with fire.

Firefighters performed a search of the trailer to ensure all occupants had evacuated and quickly extinguished the fire, protecting the nearby dwellings. Once extinguishment was complete, crews continued working on putting out hot spots. During searches of the trailer, a family dog was found alive and in good condition. The dog was turned over to the homeowner.

There were no reported injuries to civilians or firefighters.

The trailer received heavy fire and smoke damage. The fire is currently under investigation by the Spokane Fire Department Special Investigation Unit. The fire does not appear to be suspicious and most likely caused by an electrical source.
