A man was sent to a hospital with burns and smoke inhalation suffered during a Kent house fire Sunday night in the 26300 block of 108th Avenue Southeast.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Firefighters from the Kent Fire Department Regional Fire Authority were dispatched to the fire at 8:23 p.m. and found the man in the back yard of the single-story house, according to a Kent Fire Department media release. While one crew attended to the patient, the other crews entered the house to extinguish the flames.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Firefighters controlled the fire in about 20 minutes, but there was smoke and heat damage throughout the house.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Concerned that there may have been more people home at the time of the fire, careful searches were conducted to check for other victims. Those searches found no additional people.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Investigators have yet to determine the cause of the fire.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
