South County Fire says they are thankful all residents safely escaped a house fire in Edmonds near Lake Ballinger just before 3 pm on Tuesday August 25, 2026.
Firefighters stopped the flames from spreading to a neighboring home.
When crews arrived at the single-story home, they found heavy fire that was spreading into the attic and threatening a home next door. Two people inside safely escaped before firefighters arrived.
Crews immediately attacked the flames from the back and searched the home to confirm no one else was inside. Firefighters stopped the fire just as it began to ignite the neighbor's fence. Firefighters were able to contain the fire in about 15 minutes.
While no residents were hurt, one firefighter did suffer a minor injury during the response.
Three people have been displaced and are receiving assistance from Support 7 and the American Red Cross Northwest Region for immediate needs.
The cause of the fire is under investigation by South County Fire. Thank you to Shoreline Fire Department for assisting with this fire.
