MOSES LAKE — Units from Grant County Fire District 5 responded at around 9:30 a.m. Tuesday morning when a fire consumed a single-family dwelling in the 4400 block of Chera Place, according to Grant County Sheriff’s Office spokesperson Kyle Foreman. “The house was occupied by at least one person, an elderly gentleman, who was awakened this morning when a neighbor or a passerby pounded on his door to tell him that his house was on fire,” Foreman said. “He was able to make it out okay.”
