| Narrative : |
| On Friday October 16, 2009 at 8:58 AM, 6 Companies of Spokane Firefighters, 2 Engines, 1 Heavy Rescue, 1 Pumper-Ladder and 2-Senior Ladders under the direction of Battalion Chiefs Bob Green and Steve Sabo responded to a reported residence fire at 1404 E. North Avenue. Neighbors called 911 when they noticed smoke coming from an open door in the vacant two-story residence. When the first company arrived, they reported smoke banking down near the floor in the interior first level and believed that they had a working basement fire.
Ladder and Engine Companies worked quickly, in a coordinated effort, to attack the fire and force entry to perform a search of the two living units that made up the residence. It took 24 Firefighters just 15 minutes to locate and knock down the fire and control the incident. Firefighters were able to limit the damage to the area of origin in the basement and prevent it from spreading into floors above.
No civilians or firefighters were injured as a result of the incident.
