KENT, Wash. — Puget Sound Fire crews extinguished a 2-story, 2-alarm commercial building fire in Kent on Wednesday night.

According to Puget Sound Fire, crews were on the scene of the fire along South 266 Street at around 9:30 p.m. last night.

Arriving firefighters found a vacant 2-story building with heavy smoke coming from it.

The top of the stairway from the main floor to the second floor was burnt away, which meant firefighters had to access the second floor using a ground ladder.
