High winds fanned the flames on a house fire in the 3500 block of East Chattaroy Road early Wednesday morning, hampering efforts to extinguish the fire. The fire broke out just before 5 a.m. and, with winds gusting at 20 to 25 miles per hour, fire crews arriving on the scene from Spokane County Fire District 4 were forced to take a defensive stance to prevent the fire from spreading to other nearby structures.
