~ On Saturday, May 20th, the Spokane Fire Department (SFD) responded to a structure fire at the intersection of East Boone Avenue and North Smith Street in the East Central neighborhood. Firefighters arrived at the scene within 4 minutes of receiving the dispatch and encountered a heavily engulfed RV fire that had spread to an adjacent detached garage. The incident was further complicated by evident hoarder conditions surrounding the RV and within the garage.
Firefighters initiated an aggressive fire attack strategy while simultaneously conducting a thorough search of the RV for potential fire victims. However, battling the fire proved highly challenging due to the hazardous hoarder conditions that impeded their progress. Fortunately, upon investigation, it was revealed that three individuals had been residing inside the RV and had narrowly escaped the engulfing flames. One adult male sustained a minor injury while fleeing and was promptly treated by SFD Paramedics before being transported by AMR to a nearby hospital for further care.

The fire significantly damaged a substantial portion of the garage and due to its dangers, it was determined that it should be demolished later that morning. The presence of hoarder conditions significantly exacerbates the dangers faced by firefighters as they are restricted in mobility, have limited escape routes, face high fuel loads, and experience accelerated fire growth. No other injuries occurred as a result of this incident. The cause of the fire remains under investigation by a team of SPD and SFD officers.
The Spokane Fire Department urges residents to maintain safe living environments free from clutter and excess materials in order to minimize fire risks and enhance overall safety.
