Fire destroys garage, injures cat in Lacey area
A fire Saturday in the 6500 block of Waldron Drive Southeast caused about $100,000 in damage, a Lacey fire official said Sunday.
Lacey Fire District 3 was dispatched about 7:45 p.m. Saturday, and fire crews found a garage fire well underway.
Crews were able to limit the fire to the garage and some attic space, while largely protecting the living areas, Lt. Jason Berman said.
Three cats were home at the time of the fire. Two were thought to have escaped the fire, while a third cat suffered smoke inhalation. It received oxygen on scene and was taken to an animal clinic. It is expected to make a full recovery, Berman said.
Fire hydrants weren’t in the area, so water was brought in, he said. Lacey Fire received assistance from Yelm, East Olympia, Black Lake/McLane and South Bay fire crews.
