07/21/2006: "FH Fire Quickly Extinguished"

(Dist. 3 Firefighter Lieutenant checks area for any hot spots)

The Report of a fire in the wall of an office building at the Discovery Inn on San Juan Island called out Friday Harbor and District 3 firefighters, and within minutes of their arrival they found smoke and a small fire still active in the wall of the building. The owner of the building was on the scene, and had damped the fire with a garden hose. The firefighters took over, and quickly exposed and eliminated the fire. The cause of the fire was not determined with certainty, but electrical did not appear to be the cause. A number of cigarette butts were found next to the wall and door framing that had been on fire.
