A taxidermy shop in Littlerock went up in flames overnight and crews are on the scene investigating the cause.
The fire was well underway by the time neighbors woke up and called 911 about 4:30 a.m., according to West Thurston Regional Fire Authority. Arriving firefighters found a fully involved structure fire, according to Chief Robert Scott.
Alden’s Taxidermy is on Palermo Southwest, just east of Littlerock Road, according to Scott.
The building is a total loss, he said. Scott said there are only two walls left standing from the medium-sized building. Nobody was hurt, he said.
Scott said he’s assuming there is a substantial loss of contents, but the owner is away and he has not yet spoke with him.
The blaze destroyed a pickup truck parked next to the business as well, according to Scott.
