2-Alarm Fire Damages Landmark Tacoma Pagoda
TACOMA, Wash. — A two-alarm fire has caused significant damage to the landmark pagoda building at Point Defiance Park in Tacoma.
Fire Department spokesman Joe Meineck told The News Tribune firefighters were called about 4:30 a.m. Friday and they were still battling flames an hour-and-a-half later.
Video from KOMO and KIRO TV helicopters shows heavy smoke and flames through the roof.
The pagoda in the park's Japanese garden is a replica of a 17th century Japanese lodge. It accommodated up to 200 people for weddings, memorial services and parties.
