Fire investigators with the Spokane Fire Department's Special Investigation Unit are continuing to investigate a house fire that broke out on Friday evening.

At approximately 11 p.m., the Spokane Fire Department responded to a reported building fire in the 400 block of E. Carlisle Ave. First arriving crews noted fire on the side of a residence that appeared to be moving into the attic. Crews were able to knock down the fire and perform a search of the building within five minutes of arrival. The residence was not occupied at the time of the event. Crews remained on scene throughout the night to perform a thorough investigation and ensure the fire remained out.

No civilians, pets or fire personnel were injured.
