A fire Tuesday night in The Dalles destroyed a two-story house that had been seriously damaged by fire in December 2010.  Mid-Columbia Fire and Rescue District Chief Bob Palmer says the nearly 150 year old house at 402 West 4th Street was unoccupied as a result.  Law enforcement officers had initially arrived to find a small fire inside one of the rooms of the structure, but by the time fire crews arrived the blaze had grown substantially.  Strong winds blew embers that ignited several spot fires in dry fuels, shrubbery, and the roof of a house a block away from the fire.  Palmer says that fire was put out it before it spread into the structure itself.  Dallesport, Wy’east, Dufur, and Hood River fire departments provided aid to MCFR.  Palmer said an investigation into the cause of the fire is underway.
