Casey Beck, who resides across the street. On the other side, the plastic clips melted from an air conditioning unit in a second-story window and it dropped to the ground, nearly striking Chehalis Assistant Chief Larry Allen, according to Gilligan.<\/p>\n<p>The Chehalis Fire Department was joined by crews from Centralia, Rochester and Lewis County Fire districts 5 and 6, according to the chief.<\/p>\n<p>Gilligan said the upstairs of the house was completely burned and the downstairs damaged by smoke and water.
