A woman and her two dogs tragically died in a house fire on South Hill on early Wednesday morning. Spokane fire crews responded to multiple reports of flames at 27th Avenue around 12:40 a.m. Concerned neighbors noticed the blaze and informed dispatchers that the woman residing there had not been seen outside.
A neighbor commented this house was also on fire two years ago. At the time of the recent blaze, a neighbor said multiple boxes could be seen inside the home filled with the mother’s and resident’s belongings, likely still unpacked from when they were placed into storage after the first fire. Firefighters faced significant challenges battling the blaze due to severe hoarding conditions, with piles of boxes, scorched clothing, and melted footwear scattered around the yard. The firefighters were able to pull the woman and her dogs out of the burning house within 10 minutes of arrival; however, they were pronounced dead at the scene.
We extend our deepest condolences to the family and friends of the woman who tragically lost her life in the fire.
