CHEHALIS – Six fire departments converged on a house fire in Rochester yesterday on the 8500 block of James Road Southwest.
West Thurston Regional Fire Authority Chief Robert Scott said the single-story wood frame home was occupied at the time, but nobody was injured.
“The fire began in the basement area and extended into the overhead attic space,” Scott said.
Crews called at 10:46 a.m. were still on the scene after lunch.
“It has a metal roof and that’s part of the problem, that’s holding in the heat,” Scott said.
An adult male and his son live there, according to Scott.
