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:
Stay safe!
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!
