CAUSE OF HOUSE FIRE IN ONALASKA STILL UNDETERMINED
• Authorities are still trying to locate the home owner whose house caught fire in Onalaska last week. Firefighters were called about 5:30 p.m. on Wednesday to the 1800 block of state Route 508 where they found flames inside the two story dwelling and nobody home, according to the Lewis County Fire District 1. “We were able to get to it and get it out before it did a lot of damage,” Chief Mark Conner said. The chief said the primary area was in between the ceiling on the first floor and the floor of the upper level. The interior doors were closed, limiting the spread, he said. A firefighter from Salkum sustained a shoulder injury, but took himself to the hospital, according to Conner. The cause remains under investigation, he said.

Amanda you make absolutely no sense. All I can decipher is more Lewis County cop bashing.
@BobbyinLC. They should be. As individuals who stand in judgment of others, and societies “stick” when the carrot of freedom is passed on, the individuals who choose an occupation lends itself to abuse of position if one were so inclined, they need their own set of consequences. In the same respect that you don’t hire convicted sec offenders to work at rape crisis clinics, there should be no place for criminals to have badges.
For all of those folks who cried foul when deputy sheriffs were cited and released for DUI with no accident or injury please read the above story, Centralia police cited and released a woman for DUI after an accident. This means the deputies were not treated any differently than other citizens like everyone claimed.
