Fire damaged a Kent commercial building at about 10 p.m. Tuesday in the 5800 block of South 228th Street.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
The fire, which was first reported by the alarm company, activated the sprinkler system of the business which helped to contain the flames until Kent firefighters arrived, according to a Kent Fire Department media release.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
A fire investigator is trying to determine what started the fire. The fire does not appear to be intentionally set according to the investigator.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Finding the source of the fire was difficult for firefighters due to the amount of smoke filling the two-story concrete tilt-up structure, as well as the sheer size of the building. Firefighters had to travel approximately 400 feet once inside to reach the fire. Once found, the fire was quickly extinguished.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
No one was in the building at the time of the fire. The company which occupies the structure molds plastics into useful products.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
