Adult and pet without home after Snohomish fire

SNOHOMISH COUNTY, Wash. — Snohomish County firefighters battled a commercial fire on Saturday.

The fire broke out at a four-plex residence in the 100 block of Lincoln Avenue around 10:30 p.m.

When the first crews arrived within five minutes residents had already evacuated the building.

“Upon further investigation, it was discovered that there had been a fire in a bathroom that had been extinguished by a sprinkler activation,” said a spokesperson. “The incident was handled by the first three arriving units.”

“Mutual Aid was provided from Everett, Snohomish Regional Fire Rescue, and South County Fire,” they continued.

Officials say that working smoke detectors helped the quick-acting residents to evacuate the building.

Unfortunately, one adult and pet were left without a home due to water damage.
