A shed was destroyed by fire overnight in Toledo.
Lewis County Fire District 2 was called just before 4 o’clock this morning to the blaze on the 300 block of North Second Street, just two blocks away from the fire department.
The 10-foot by 10-foot wood structure was heavily involved with flames which were threatening some trees, according to Fire Chief Grant Wiltbank.
They arrived in less than seven minutes and pretty much got it knocked down in just a couple of minutes, Wiltbank said.
Firefighters prevented the trees from burning and had to take extra care as the building was just a few feet away from a roughly 40-foot drop off into the Cowlitz River, according to the chief.
The cause isn’t yet known, he said.
