In a time where local news media coverage seems to be disappearing, your contribution is more important than ever. While our in-depth articles are for supporting members only, we won’t put our core news content behind a paywall, because we believe access to news should be democratized, instead of access for only those who can afford it.
But keeping the lights on and taking the fight to local accountability takes resources. Your monthly subscription directly funds our public records requests, website hosting, and time spent analyzing local government and events so you don’t have to.
We are the only newsroom in Washington County with facts-first focus, locally owned, independent, while keeping our core news content free. Will you help us keep it that way?
The fire, which originated on a window sill, is preliminarily believed to have been caused by an accidental ignition from improperly discarded smoking material. Firefighters responded to the single-alarm incident, with 44 personnel working to bring the flames under control within 43 minutes. The structure sustained an estimated $70,000 in damages, with an additional $20,000 in content loss. Smoke alarms were present and activated at the scene. The American Red Cross is reportedly providing assistance to the eight individuals who have been displaced by the fire.
