Family Displaced By Fire In The Dalles

A family was displaced in a fire Saturday afternoon at the Budget Inn on 118 West 4th in The Dalles.  Mid-Columbia Fire and Rescue Division Chief Jay Wood says the fire was electrical in nature.  It started on the outside of the building and went into a sign, and then spread into the wall and attic space.  Firefighters had to open up the wall and the ceiling to make sure fire did not progress any farther.  Wood said they did not have a cause of the fire determined.  The family that was displaced was helped by both MCFR’s benevolence fund and the American Red Cross.  The fire call came in at about 5:45 p.m. on Saturday.
