Centralia City Firemen say they were able to confine a fire in a vacant home at 223 South Maplelate Friday afternoon to two second floor rooms and a portion of the attic. Two extra shifts of firemen were called in and the fire was quickly knocked down. The cause of the fire remains under investigation and is deemed suspicious because there was no power to the home. The ownership of the home was not immediately determined. While the fire was confined, there was smoke and heat damage throughout the home. Firemen were on the scene for about two hours. There were no injuries. A short time earlier, Centralia Fire Protection District Firemen were called to a house fire in the 2700 block of Shattuc Road just south of the Centralia Correctional Center. All occupants reportedly got out safely and the fire was knocked down quickly. No other details, including the owner of the home, was immediately available. - http://goo.gl/bkroU
