Concession building at Avista Stadium ‘complete loss’ in fire

The concession building at Avista Stadium, home of the Spokane Indians, was destroyed by fire early Friday.

Crews responded around 2:45 a.m. to the concession building west of the stadium to flames billowing out of the roof, said Spokane Valley Fire Department Battalion Chief Sean Barrett at the scene.

The building is a “complete loss,” he said. No injuries have been reported. There was no damage to any other part of the stadium, which is owned by Spokane County.

Crews entered the building initially, but ended up pulling out for safety reasons since it was unlikely anyone was inside, Barrett said. Cause of the fire in under investigation, and the department likely will fly drones around the building as part of the investigation.
