Local firefighters responded and doused a fire that struck an abandoned house Monday night on Kent’s West Hill at South 272nd Street and 26th Avenue South.<\/p>\n
There were no reported injuries. A dog was rescued.<\/p>\n
According to the Puget Sound Regional Fire Authority, a passerby called in the fire at 10:26 p.m., at which time a Puget Sound unit arrived to discover heavy smoke and flames coming from the front of the house. Hose lines were pulled, and an exterior attack was made.<\/p>\n
A second fire engine from South King Fire and Rescue arrived and supplied the attack engine with water from a hydrant. Once the fire was knocked down, entry was made into the home and the fire was extinguished.<\/p>\n
The house had a daylight basement and when the basement door was opened, a dog ran out unharmed and is being cared for by animal control until the owner can be found.<\/p>\n
Two thorough searches were completed and nobody was discovered in the house.<\/p>\n
Additional help was received from South King County Medic One and Zone 3 Rehab.<\/p>\n
Belfor is providing a free boardup service to secure the home.<\/p>\n
