Busy night and morning for Yakima Fire Dept. - KNDO/KNDU Tri-Cities, Yakima, WA |

YAKIMA, Wash. -- Five companies from the Yakima Fire Department assisted in the Cowiche-West Valley fire Sunday afternoon into early Monday morning.

About 1:15a.m., firefighters were called out to a structure fire on North 9th Street. A spokesperson for Yakima Fire said that fire used all remaining city fire engines.
