According to Spokane Fire Department (SFD) PIO Justin De Ruyter, crews responded to a duplex fire on North Lacey Street around 4:40 p.m. and advised people to avoid the intersection of Lacey and Sanson. SFD reported no one was inside the duplex and no injuries were reported. Firefighters were working to put out the fire after getting it under control.

The department said the front porch was fully engulfed and that most of the fire was there. It also extended into the structure and slightly into the attic. Crews made holes in the roof to help put out the fire. SFD is still investigating the cause of this fire.
