In addition to the snow, downtown traffic is currently snarled by a large contingent of fire trucks responding to a residential fire at 123 N. Bernard. Spokane Fire Chief Bobbie Williams told KHQ that at least one person is dead in the apartment complex, though it will take an autopsy to determine if the fire was the cause.

As an aside, an SUV from a news team that broadcasts on channel 6 (who shall remain nameless) almost ran over a certain Inlander correspondent, but we're fairly confident that was due more to bad driving than any professional rivalry.
