A call that was originally dispatched as an “unknown type” fire was quickly upgraded to a structure fire Saturday night in the 15200 block of Southeast 272 Street, the Kent Regional Fire Authority reported. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
The first 911 callers at 8:36 p.m. reported smoke coming from the double-wide mobile home. When firefighters arrived, they found smoke and flames coming from the windows.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Because there was a vehicle in the driveway and no residents outside, firefighters quickly entered the home to extinguish the fire and look for victims. A search found no occupants, and contact with the owner later confirmed that no one had been in the home.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
The mobile home was heavily damaged on the inside by heat and smoke. There did not appear to be any working smoke alarms.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
The fire is under investigation.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
In addition to the Kent RFA, the Maple Valley FD and King County Medic One responded to the call.<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
