STATE: WA
ZIP: 99204
NARRATIVE: At 6:50 PM this evening, Monday, February 02, 2009, the Spokane Fire Department responded to a reported shed fire at 1206 S. "F" Street. Upon arrival the first fire crews reported a detached 12'X18' storage building heavily involved in fire. Siding on the main house at that address, which was less than 20' away from the storage building, was smoking and near ignition from the radiant heat. Fire crews applied water to the house and checked the inside for any fire extension as other crews simultaneously attacked and extinguished the fire in the storage building. During their investigation of the house one of the crews located the occupant, who reported he had received burns from the fire. The victim, an adult male, was working on his motorcycle in the storage building when gasoline vapors were ignited by a kerosene heater used to heat the building. The victim sustained second degree burns to both hands and first degree burns to his face prior to escaping the burning building. He was treated at the scene by Spokane Fire Department paramedics and transported by ambulance to Deaconess Medical Center. His injuries are not considered life threatening.
PROBABLE CAUSE: As was noted, the cause of the fire was accidental ignition of gasoline vapors inside the storage building.
DAMAGE EXTENT: Damage was confined to a total loss of the storage building and its contents, as well as minor damage to trim and siding on the house at this address.
DOLLAR LOSS: 40000
FIREFIGHTER RESPONSE: 21
MUTUAL AID: None Given
