Fire investigators with the Spokane Fire Department’s Special Investigation Unit say Monday evening’s house fire on N. Wall St. started on the front porch of the home, but the cause of the fire is undetermined.
The residential fire was reported just after 7:00 p.m. in the 2600 block of N. Wall St. The residents discovered the fire in the front of their house, but were able to safely evacuate through a rear entrance.
Upon arrival, crews advised of a heavy amount of fire on the front side of the one story structure. Firefighters made an aggressive fire attack limiting damage and preventing the fire from spreading to other neighboring structures. The fire caused heavy damage to the front porch, attic and front rooms of the house.
The Spokane Fire Department would like to remind everyone of the importance of having working smoke alarms. Smoke alarms that are properly installed and maintained help save lives.
