Centralia Fire Protection District Chief Greg Earle says a fire at the Bob Grote home in the 2700 block of Shattuc Road Friday afternoon was confined to two rooms. The fire started behind the dryer in the utility room, but the exact cause of the blaze has not been determined. Earle says firemen were able to knock down the fire quickly, but the entire home sustained smoke and water damage. The Grote family was out of the home by the time firemen arrived. There were no injuries. Sandoval Firemen were called for mutual aide assistance. Firemen were on the scene for about two hours. Earle says a new roof was being put on the home, but the construction work did not have anything to do with the fire. The home is located south of the Centralia Correctional Center.
