Early Morning Fire Damages Apartment On Spokane's Lower South Hill

Posted: Updated:
SPOKANE, Wash. - An early morning fire damages one apartment and several residents were forced to spend several hours in the cold Monday morning. Fire crews were called to the intersection of 8th and Walnut just after 3:30AM when they found an apartment complex with thick smoke billowing out of the structure.

The fire was immediately upgraded to a working fire and more than 6 Spokane fire units were called to the scene. The fire was discovered in the back of the complex and was contained quickly. Only one apartment was damaged in the blaze and we are waiting to hear whether it was occupied at the time of the fire. There were no injuries to anyone involved and right now fire crews are looking into a cause.

    WASHINGTON (AP) - Wind, humidity and rainfall combined precisely to create the massive killer tornado in Moore, Okla.
