~ On Tuesday morning at 0325 hours, the Spokane Fire Department and Fire District Nine responded to a fire in the 9500 N block of Loganberry Court. Engine 17 from the Indian Trail District arrived on scene four minutes after dispatch and reported moderate smoke coming from a 2-story split level home with an attached garage.
Upon arrival, a wheelchair bound elderly female was exiting on a motorized scooter and was unharmed. The resident had been awoken to the sound of a burst water pipe, as the smoke detectors had failed to alert her. Engine 17 immediately initiated fire attack on the second floor interior fire. Spokane Quint 13 gained entry into the structure to check for fire extension and conducted a search of the interior to ensure no one was inside. Tower 91 made access to the roof to assist with ventilation.

The fire was contained to a room and contents fire and was extinguished within 10 minutes of the first fire crews arriving on scene. 6 fire apparatus along with 19 firefighters responded to fight the fire, with no injuries reported among civilians or firefighters. The cause of the fire is under investigation by the Spokane Fire Special Investigation Unit.
The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) states that working smoke alarms can save lives, cutting the risk of dying in a home fire in half. It is recommended that smoke alarms be installed in every room used for sleeping, outside each sleeping area, and on every level of the home, including basements; they should also be tested once a month and everyone in your home should understand what sound it makes when activated and what action should be taken when it is heard.
