Bird Nest on fireplace vent causes fire

YAKIMA, Wash. (AP) - A bird nest on a gas fireplace vent caused a fire at a cancer care center in Yakima. About 30 people were evacuated yesterday at the North Star Lodge as firefighters prevented the fire from spreading. KNDO reports a nest was found on another fireplace vent, so gas appliances in the building were shut down until all the vents are inspected and screened.
