A fire that destroyed a chicken coop in north Centralia this afternoon appears it may have involved a heat lamp, according to Riverside Fire Authority.

Assistant Chief Rick Mack said he thinks the owner lost a few chicks, although he wasn’t certain if they were turkeys or chickens.

It happened around 2:30 p.m. on West Carson Street. The structure was about 12 feet by six feet in size, according to Mack.

He said it is likely accidental.
