SPOKANE, Wash. — A 5-year-old girl died in a house fire that started around 3 a.m. Sunday in Royal City, according to a post on the Grant County Sheriff's Office Facebook page.
The fire occurred at a manufactured home in the Coachman Mobile Home Park. Officials suspect the victim became trapped and unable to escape. The other occupants of the residence were able to get out, according to the Sheriff's office.
The Grant County Sheriff's Office wrote in a Facebook post Tuesday that the fire had engulfed two trailers and started to catch a third on fire when fire crews and law enforcement arrived at Catalpa Ave. Firefighters could not extinguish the flames before it took the three trailers in a total loss, the sheriff's office said.
The Grant County Coroner determined the child died of smoke inhalation.
