Vacant Spokane home destroyed by fire

A vacant home in northeast Spokane was destroyed by fire early this morning. The Spokane Fire Department responded around 12:42 a.m. today to a fire on a hillside north of Princeton Avenue near Florida Street. Crews could see the fire and smoke while still blocks away, a news release from the fire department said. When they arrived, fire was coming through the roof of the two-story structure and from every door and window. The fire was under control within 45 minutes, but crews stayed on scene throughout the night. Investigators will follow up on fire cause determination this morning.
