Sprinklers Save Lives!

Tuesday morning, March 31, 2026 just before 9:00am, Shoreline Fire was dispatched to a structure fire at a multi-family complex in the 18100 block of 68th Ave NE in Kenmore.

The occupant acted quickly after being alerted to the fire and used a fire extinguisher. Upon our arrival, the sprinkler system had already activated and the fire was extinguished.

The cause of the fire was determined to be a power block/charging unit.
Safety Reminder:
  • Only use the charging unit designed for your specific device
  • Avoid overcharging devices
  • Do not charge devices on or near combustible materials
  • Working sprinklers and quick action made a difference today.
Stay safe!

If you don't have sprinklers in your home, add a monthly reminder in your calendar to test your smoke and carbon monoxide alarms! It only takes a couple minutes.
