GRAHAM, WASHINGTON STATE
Firefighters from the Graham Fire and Rescue/Fire District #21 agency were dispatched to a garage fire just before 1230 hours PT in their service area and reported a fully engulfed structure.
All occupants escaped safely and waited for first responders to arrive on-scene.
Fire resources were strategically put into place during this operational period, saving the home and any exposure structures that may have been nearby.
If not put out quickly, the fire could have easily spread uncontrollably to the nearby home causing more damage and possibly more of a loss to the occupants.
Great egress work, guys and gals!
