Four adults and a child were displaced following a fire at their home in the 11300 block of Southeast 227 Place.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Kent firefighters were dispatched at 8:30 p.m. Sunday and found a fire spreading underneath the single-wide mobile home. By quickly cutting a hole in the floor, they were able to access and extinguish the fire before it spread into the living space.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Everyone who lives in the home was able to get out safely after discovering the fire. No one was injured. The family will be staying with relatives.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Fire investigators have determined that a malfunctioning furnace was where the fire originated. Flames penetrated the ducting and spread to the underside of the home.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
The fire is considered accidental.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
It is unknown whether there were working smoke alarms in the home.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
