CLARKSTON, WA – There were no injuries in a structure fire just after 2:00 p.m. Saturday afternoon in the 1400 block of Elm Street in Clarkston. Asotin County Fire District #1 and Clarkston Fire crews responded to the scene and found the mobile home was full of smoke with flames coming out of the windows. Crews were able to contain the fire in about a half hour to the one home.
The home’s residents were not home when the fire started.
“The people living in the house had left before the fire broke out. Red Cross was contacted because the family had no place to stay and the home and contents were completely destroyed,” ACFD#1 says.
The Clearwater Paper Fire Department also responded with a special response truck to help supply air to the firefighters. Two engines, a tanker, and an Asotin County Fire District #1 medic unit were on scene with 20 firefighters and command staff.
The cause of the fire has not been determined.
