23 apartments burned in 3-alarm Spokane fire
Wednesday, August 10, 2011
SPOKANE, Wash. (AP) -- Twenty-three apartments have burned in an early morning fire in Spokane.
Fire Chief Bobby Williams told The Spokesman Review (http://bit.ly/p65vya ) that all residents escaped unharmed from the Wednesday fire that started around 7:40 a.m.
Williams says the fire had too much of a head start before firefighters arrived, with a large amount of smoke and flames. So they poured water on the fire from the outside and turned some of their attention to protecting adjacent buildings.
Twenty-two of the units had people living in them at the time of the fire.
