Downtown Spokane dumpster fire draws large response

Some downtown Spokane residents may have woken up to a flurry of activity from what turned out to be a dumpster fire Tuesday morning near O’Doherty’s Irish Grille.

Firefighters responded around 5:25 a.m. to the area of Spokane Falls Boulevard and Howard Street and extinguished the flames. Smoke spread to a neighboring building, but it did not catch fire, Assistant Fire Chief Tom Williams said.

There were no injuries.
