Yesterday afternoon Northshore Fire and surrounding fire departments responded to a house fire in Kenmore at about the 19400 block of 68th Ave NE. The human occupants got out safely although according to one of the occupants, she's not sure about her two cats. The occupant stated she went to turn on a light in the house and "it was out" then saw smoke coming from a shed towards the back of the house attached to the house. Radio reports stated "smoke visible from the shed".
Speaking with one of the occupantsNeighbors were quick to help out including a nurse although the occupants didn't appear injured. One neighbor brought food, another lawn chairs for the occupants to wait out firefighting efforts. It appeared a Red Cross representative was on the scene assistign the occupants.
After about an hour, it was reported over radio that the fire was tapped "We have a good tap" and then a short time later "We have an extension in the basement wall" which means more burning, smoldering, or fire. Thankfully, no injuries were reported.
