SPOKANE, Wash. — Spokane firefighters made quick work on Tuesday morning to keep a fire that started in a dumpster from causing any major damage.
Firefighters were called to the fire at West Spokane Falls Blvd. and North Stevens Street just before 5:30 a.m. The fire started outside the building that houses O'Doherty's Irish Grille.
When firefighters arrived they found the fire that started in the dumpster had spread and caught some grease on the side of a building on fire. Firefighters were able to put out the flames and said the only damage was to the outside of the building.
A large fire response blocked Spokane Falls Blvd. for about an hour but by 6:30 a.m. crews had reopened the road.
It is still not known what started the fire in the dumpster.
