House fire in Liberty Lake
Spokane Valley Fire Department crews responded to a house fire yesterday afternoon in Liberty Lake.

The fire spread to surrounding bushes and trees before being noticed by a neighbor, who also knocked on the front door to alert the family inside the home. One adult and two small children were able to escape unharmed. Photo courtesy the Spokane Valley Fire Department.
