Firefighters from Puget Sound Fire and King County Fire District 44 had their hands full at 7:10 Saturday morning when a reported house fire turned out to be two homes.<\/p>\n
Crews were able to contain and extinguish the fire in both homes.<\/p>\n
Residents in both homes were able to escape safely and there were no reported injuries.<\/p>\n
The initial dispatch to the house was for a possible aid call after the caller reported needing the fire department, but not giving any additional details, Puget Sound RFA said.<\/p>\n
Shortly after that, other callers reported that it was a house fire in the 14200 block of Southeast 264 Street.<\/p>\n
When the first firefighters arrived, they found fire coming from three sides of the two-story home. Fire from one side of the house had started an attic fire in the next-door residence as well, Puget Sound RFA said.<\/p>\n
The incident commander upgraded the call to a second alarm to get additional resources to the scene. This allowed the IC to send crews to fight both fires simultaneously and keep other nearby homes safe.<\/p>\n
Belfor Inc., provided free board-up service to the affected homes.<\/p>\n
The fire is under investigation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
