MOSCOW, Idaho — Multiple agencies were dispatched to a fire that broke out in Moscow late Friday afternoon.
Moscow Volunteer Fire & Ambulance, the Pullman Fire Department, Potlatch Fire & Ambulance, the Genesee Fire Department and the Moscow Police Department responded to reports of a structure fire on the 200 block of 2nd Street. Crews who first arrived at the scene reported heavy fire and smoke conditions in the back of a two-story residential building converted into a commercial office. The fire was threatening two other structures in the area. The fire was contained to the first-floor area near the kitchen and the 2nd floor toward the back of the building in an apartment area. The roof and floor was partially collapsed in the area.
