The Moscow Volunteer Fire Department is asking for the public’s help as it investigates a fire that damaged a converted office building Friday afternoon on the 200 block of Second Street.
Chief Brian Nickerson in a Monday news release asked people to submit any photos or videos of that area taken between 4-6 p.m. Friday.
“The photos or videos are for training and investigation purposes,” Nickerson stated. “We are specifically looking at when the fire was first witnessed to show the fire travel through the requested time period.”
The fire was serious enough to require assistance from fire departments in Pullman, Potlatch and Genesee. It damaged the rear of the building on the first and second floors. A floor and part of the roof partially collapsed.
There were no injuries as the building was empty at the time of the fire.
The cause of the fire has not been released and the investigation is ongoing. In a news release sent out Friday night, Nickerson stated the fire did not seem suspicious.
