Structure Fire at East Wenatchee Marijuana Grow Monday

There were no reported injuries after a small structure fire Monday morning at a marijuana grow facility in East Wenatchee directly south of Pangborn Airport.

PIO Kay McKellar said crews from Douglas County Fire District 2 and Chelan County Fire District 1 responded to a call of an outbuilding on fire in the 800 block of Ute Avenue just after 11:00 am.

"It was about a 20' by 40' portable greenhouse. One end of it was on fire." explained McKellar, "Employees had extinguished the fire upon arrival of the fire department."

Crews left the scene about 45 minutes later.

The structure was damaged and firefighters were unable to determine the exact cause. There were no plants growing in the greenhouse at the time.
