Fire and explosives investigators will help determine the cause of a Monday fire at a Lakewood furniture business.
A three-alarm fire reported at 6:10 a.m. destroyed the Grandwood Furniture manufacturing plant near Mount Tahoma High School.
Local agencies can ask the National Response Team of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives to help investigate significant fire and explosive incidents.
The team investigates incidents that require resources a local agency might not have, according to West Pierce Fire & Rescue.
