The disconnected wires landed on a fire engine in the street. This potentially dangerous situation forced firefighters to use a different engine to fight the fire until Puget Sound Energy was able to disconnect the power. The change of engines did not affect the outcome of the fire.<\/p>\n<p>It took approximately 45 minutes to fully extinguish the flames. A strong southwesterly wind fed the fire and made it more difficult to extinguish.<\/p>\n<p>Red Cross assisted the family of five that lives there.<\/p>\n<p>An unattended cooking fire caused the fire that spread to the attic, according to investigators.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A woman and her two dogs escaped safely on Tuesday after her house caught fire in Kent in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/maps\/place\/26700+40th+Ave+S,+Kent,+WA+98032\/@47.3622081,-122.2860682,664m\/data=!3m1!1e3!4m5!3m4!1s0x5490598169dfe3bf:0xcaf5f583f4323f23!8m2!3d47.3622081!4d-122.2838795\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"map\">26700 block of 40th Avenue South<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":106,"featured_media":25442,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9,4],"tags":[],"yst_prominent_words":[],"class_list":["post-25437","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-home","category-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.kentreporter.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/25437"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.kentreporter.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.kentreporter.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.kentreporter.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/106"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.kentreporter.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=25437"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.kentreporter.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/25437\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.kentreporter.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/25442"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.kentreporter.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=25437"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.kentreporter.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=25437"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.kentreporter.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=25437"},{"taxonomy":"yst_prominent_words","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.kentreporter.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/yst_prominent_words?post=25437"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
