In brief: Car fire spreads to apartment

A car fire spread to an apartment building in Spokane Valley on Sunday afternoon, destroying the car and causing minor damage to the building.

KHQ reported the apartment complex owner said smoke started to come from a vehicle in the garage of the Wilbur Road complex just after 1 p.m. People in the area were able to push the car out of the garage before it became engulfed, but flames spread to the apartment above.

The residents of the apartment are not able to stay there until it is repaired, KHQ reported, but the apartment complex put them in another unit until they can move home.
