A Kent mobile home fire at about 2:15 a.m. Thursday displaced a family of four in the 24400 block of 64th Avenue South.<\/p>\n
No one was injured in the fire.<\/p>\n
Kent firefighters arrived to find the fire showing out of the windows and doors and the family standing outside the home, according to a Kent Fire Department media release. Firefighters knocked the fire down quickly and then extinguished any hidden space fires.<\/p>\n
Family members were able to escape when they were awakened by the sound of things falling in the kitchen and the smell of smoke.<\/p>\n
Investigators are trying to determine the cause of the fire. The home is a total loss.<\/p>\n
The family will stay with local relatives. The homeowners do not have insurance.<\/p>\n
The home had smoke detectors, but fire investigators are unsure if the detectors were working at the time of the fire.<\/p>\n
Fire officials want to remind residents that only working smoke detectors can alert you to a fire. It is important to check the smoke detector regularly and to change the batteries at least twice a year. An easy reminder is when you change your clocks for daylights-saving time, change your smoke detector batteries.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
