Person Dies In Goldendale Fire

One person died in a structure fire late Saturday night in Goldendale.  The Goldendale Fire Department says the victim’s body was found after the fire had been knocked down and firefighters could begin what was termed as “heavy mop-up.”  Crews had been advised a person could be in the structure as they arrived at the scene of the fire in the 1500 block of South Columbus Avenue, but they could not enter due to the structure being fully involved.  The identity of the deceased person has not yet been released.  The initial report of a fire came at 10:16 Saturday evening when a Klickitat County Sheriff’s Deputy driving in the area reported it.  Once the fire was taken care of, the scene was turned over to the Goldendale Police Department to begin their investigation.  Police requested assistance from the Klickitat County Coroner’s Office and Q-Global Fire Investigations.  Rural 7 Fire, Klickitat County Emergency Medical Services, Department of Emergency Management, and PUD, and Avista were also involved in responding to the fire.
