BENTON COUNTY, Wash.-

Benton County Fire District #1 is on the scene of a shop fire in the 203000 block of East Bowles Rd in Kennewick that threatened a nearby home.

The fire in a detached shop was hard to fight due to slick roads slowing the response times and the lack of fire hydrants in the area. According to BCFD #1 all the water used to fight the fire had to be trucked in on water tenders.

Kennewick, Pasco, Richland, Benton County Fire District #4 and Walla Walla County Fire District #5 all responded to the fire.

No injuries were reported in the fire and the cause will be investigated once the burned area has cooled according to BCFD #1.
