SOAP LAKE — A fire started in Soap Lake Wednesday night involving a motor home in the 100 block of Fern Street North, according to a statement from Grant County Fire District 7. Explosions were reported at the scene, prompting a quick response from GCFD 7 at 10:35 p.m.
Upon arrival, the chief officer onsite confirmed the motor home was fully engulfed in flames, with a nearby structure at risk. The first engine on the scene effectively contained and extinguished the blaze before it could spread.
Grant County Fire District 7 deployed a comprehensive response team, including two engines, one pumper/tender, a utility vehicle, one ambulance and a chief officer. The total crew consisted of two career staff and ten volunteers.
Despite GCFD 7’s intervention, the fire resulted in the complete loss of the motor home. A dog inside the vehicle did not survive the incident, the fire district wrote, but no human injuries were reported.
Investigations are ongoing to determine the cause of the fire and explosions.
