Fish Lake Fire contained

The Fish Lake Fire was declared 100 percent contained Friday after two days of mop up efforts. The fast growing fire in Spokane County Fire District 3 quickly grew to 145 acres in the area northwest of Fish Lake Wednesday afternoon but was halted in its tracks Wednesday night after a concerted effort by firefighters, who were assisted by a tanker aircraft and the three helicopters making water drops. One firefighter received a minor injury Friday morning, according to Spokane Fire Assistant Chief Brian Schaeffer. He was treated and back at work by the end of the day. The fire is believed to have started near railroad tracks near Fish Lake. The cause is still under investigation.
