MAPLE VALLEY, Wash. — Firefighters had to shuttle water in from over a mile away to extinguish a house fire in Maple Valley early this morning, according to Puget Sound Fire.
Crews first responded to a residential fire along SE 216th Street sometime around 4 a.m. Tuesday.
All residents were safely evacuated, and firefighters confirmed there were no injuries.
