A fire that caused about $40,000 damage to a house south of Littlerock last night is being investigated.
About 30 firefighters from Rochester, Littlerock and two other Thurston County fire districts got the blaze under control in about 10 minutes, West Thurston Regional Fire Authority Chief Robert Scott said this morning.
The occupants of the two-story wood frame house on the 14,400 block of Littlerock Road got out safely, Scott said.
When crews arrived to the late evening fire, flames were showing outside the home and extending inside, he said. After it was extinguished, they spent some time checking for hot spots inside, Scott said.
