Second Lone Pine fire doused

The second fire in the neighborhood just above the Columbia River along the Lower River Road in about three weeks brought a quick response from firefighting agencies last Wednesday evening and was quickly brought under control.

Like the fire just down the road Nov. 25, the blaze Dec. 18 affected a building that had been unused for some time, this one a small apartment building that had just been sold this month.

Firefighters from Okanogan County District 2 and elsewhere responded about 5:15 p.m.
