A University of Idaho sorority house was damaged by fire Friday night.
Moscow Volunteer Firefighters were called to the Alpha Gamma Delta house on Nez Perce Drive on New Greek Row around 6:00. Crews found a fire burning in the attic above a second story bathroom. Firefighters quickly extinguished the fire. The sorority house sustained some flame, smoke and water damage. No one was hurt. Moscow Fire Chief Brian Nickerson says a heat lamp in the bathroom likely sparked the fire. The UI is working with the sorority to find temporary housing for the Alpha Gamma Delta members.
The Pullman Fire Department, Potlatch Volunteer Firefighters and Genesee Volunteer Firefighters responded to the scene to assist.
