East Wenatchee chicken coop catches fire; chickens unhurt
Monday, November 2, 2009
Jay O’Connell, a firefighter from Douglas County Fire Station 2, uses foam to put down a fire in a chicken coop this morning.
EAST WENATCHEE — A chicken coop caught fire at about 8 a.m. Monday in the backyard of Judi and Tino Lopez’s home in the 2500 block of Cascade Avenue Northwest.
A heat lamp and small water heater were powered by an extension cord draped over the top of the structure.
The extension cord overloaded and caught the coop on fire, Fire Chief Doug Miller said.
All of the couple’s chickens and one pheasant were unharmed.

The underwear was last seen by local man whose name will not be released due to newspaper policy. "the sound was defeaning." the man stated, "it nearly made me poop my pants myself."
Local police responded to many calls made by nearby residents reporting a loud explosion type noise. "we have no leads at this point as to whom the loud fart originated from." stated the wenatchee police chief. " rest assured that the farter will be found and brought to justice. The skid marks are bing analyzed by the local crime scene investigators. "the skid marks have an unusual smell" stated one of the detectives. We can only hope that this is an isolated incident.
