A Spokane Valley home caught fire around 8 p.m. Wednesday night after a driver crashed into a gas meter, causing the home to catch fire.
A male driver crashed into the home at the intersection of 6th and Fox, damaging the gas meter and igniting the escaping natural gas. When Spokane Valley Fire Department crews arrived on scene, both the home and vehicle were on fire.
Due to a quick evaluation of the scene by the first crew to arrive, followed by coordinated action by additional crews, both the house and vehicle fires were extinguished and the gas meter valve was closed.
