Fire Damages Home

Fire severely damaged a home on 8th and Liberty in The Dalles on Tuesday night.  Mid-Columbia Fire and Rescue Chief Bob Palmer says the single story family dwelling was 50 percent involved in the fire when crews arrived just after 8:20 p.m.  He says investigators found the family had just finished using a small table top grill to cook dinner, and afterwards some burning fat apparently dripped off and got on to some combustibles which caught fire, and then the small propane bottle attached to the grill blew up, fueling the fire even further.  The family got out of the home safely.  Dallesport fire crews assisted MCFR firefighters in responding to the situation.
