WALLA WALLA – The Walla Walla Fire Department is investigating a fire that caused extensive damage to a home at 1037 E. Alder St. Saturday.
When firefighters arrived at 5:36 p.m., they found the rear of the structure was on fire. Firefighters worked on extinguishing the flames as the fire spread through the eaves into the hidden spaces in the attic. Battling the extreme heat and steady wind, it took firefighters almost two hours to bring the fire under control.
Damages caused by the fire are estimated to be at $170,000.
Walla Walla County Fire District No. 4 and College Place Fire Department provided mutual aid. There were no injuries to firefighters or the occupants of the home.
