TACOMA, Wash. — The Tacoma Fire Department had to use about 1,500 gallons of water Saturday morning to put out a fire at the Mountain View Funeral Home and Cemetery.
According to West Pierce Fire and Rescue, which also helped with the firefight, an old caretaker building caught on fire around 5:45 a.m.
The building had been empty for years, and crews kept it from spreading.
No one was hurt, and the cause of the fire is now under investigation.
