SPOKANE, Wash. (AP) — A fire raged through an apartment building in north Spokane and forced the evacuations of dozens of residents.
Spokane Fire Chief Bobby Williams says all 85 residents of the 29-unit complex were safe following the three-alarm blaze Sunday that drew the vast majority of the city’s firefighters.
He says the blaze left much of the southern side of the I-shaped building was gutted.
The Spokesman-Review reports that the homes of a couple of dozen people were destroyed.
The Red Cross set up a shelter for residents at a nearby church. None of them was allowed to stay at the complex Sunday night.
