A fire ripped through a laundromat Friday evening on the corner of Nora and Hamilton near Gonzaga University. "It's just a shock that it would happen that fast," said Aurellia Richey, the manager on duty at the time. "It's just unbelievable really." Richey noticed the fire in a dumpster outside. "By the time I could even get anybody to move it out, it was too late, it was too hot, it was fully engulfed," she explained.
