Brier: Cord sparks fire, destroying garage
A fire consumed a detached garage in the 3100 block of 226th Place SW Thursday, causing $40,000 damage to the structure and $40,000 damage to the arcade game room inside, fire officials said Friday.
No one was inside the garage, and no one was injured in the blaze, Fire District 1 spokeswoman Leslie Hynes. The 1:16 p.m. fire also “produced a pretty good-sized column of smoke” that could be seen from a distance, she said.
Fire inspectors concluded a faulty extension cord caused the blaze, she said.
