Both of our Residential Working Fires were on March 22, 2024

One at 1:50am at the 19800 block of 47th Ave NE. Upon our arrival, smoke was throughout the area coming from multiple windows and under the eves. We stopped the fire quickly containing it to one room upstairs. Working smoke alarms woke them up!

The second was at 1:30pm at the 2400 block of NE 145th.
Upon arrival, there was heavy smoke present throughout the home. The fire was extinguished in under 10 minutes.

*For both fires, there were no reports of injuries to residents or firefighters.
