No injuries reported in Moscow house fire Monday morning

The Moscow Volunteer Fire Department extinguished a house fire Monday morning at the corner of C and Washington streets. Fire Chief Brian Nickerson confirmed that no injuries were reported among residents or their pets. Firefighters identified the fire's origin as beneath the floor at the back of the house, necessitating the use of chainsaws to gain access. Smoke billowed from the windows and doorways, while flames were not visible. Traffic was diverted from sections of C and Washington streets as firefighters worked at the scene.

Nearby structures, including the Palouse Habitat for Humanity, were spared from damage. This incident highlights the importance of prompt fire department response in preventing injuries and further property loss. The community is reminded to ensure fire safety measures are in place, particularly in older homes.
