GARAGE FIRE
SEVERELY DAMAGES RICHMOND BEACH HOME
 Shoreline Fire
Investigators are looking for the cause
of an
early morning fire that consumed three vehicles
and destroyed a detached garage at a Richmond
Beach residence located at NW 201st and 23rd Ave
NW.
The fire broke out around 4:15am on October
21st. Several neighbors saw flames and
smoke billowing from the garage and called
9-1-1. Shoreline fire crews arrived at the
scene to find the garage and vehicles fully
involved in fire, with flames visible from
several blocks away.
The
fire extended from the garage to the east side
of the house and sections of the attic when fire
crews arrived. They were able to control
the fire in about 30 minutes, and stop it from
spreading throughout the residence. It
took another two hours to fully extinguish the
blaze.
There was extensive fire, smoke, and water
damage to the side of the home that was exposed
to the garage fire.
No one was home at the time of
the fire. The homeowners are reportedly on
vacation.
Shoreline Fire was assisted by crews from
Northshore and Edmonds Fire Departments.
There were no injuries during the incident.
A damage estimate was not available, and the
investigation into the cause could take several
days.
