Fire put out on Ohio Avenue in Chehalis<\/p><\/div>\n

A large fiberglass boat was spared when a two-story shop building went up in flames yesterday in Chehalis.<\/p>\n

Three Chehalis firefighters were joined by more than a dozen members of nearby fire departments when they were called around 5:30 p.m. to the 800 block of Ohio Avenue.<\/p>\n

The wood structure was fully involved with 50-foot tall flames, and is a total loss, even though they knocked it down fairly quickly, Chehalis Fire Department Capt. Casey Beck said.<\/p>\n

No injuries were reported, but Beck said he understood some kids seen in the area were rounded up by police and may have been playing with fire inside.<\/p>\n

Firefighters used foam and kept the blaze from spreading to neighboring homes, he said.<\/p>\n

The shop is owned by an individual who lives in Seattle, according to Beck.<\/p>\n

The boat, parked right in front of the shop, and a nearby heavy duty mechanic’s truck were saved, he said.<\/p>\n

“How it didn’t burn, I do not know,” Beck said of the boat. “It had a little tiny melting in the back.”<\/p>\n
