LYNNWOOD, Wash. — Two dogs are missing after a two-alarm fire broke out at a home east of Lynnwood and displaced a family of four.
The two-alarm fire at the home in the 17000 block of 13th Avenue West was reported at about 1:40 a.m. Friday.
Those who live in the home, a couple and their two children, discovered the fire after they were awakened by a loud bang. They safely got out of the house.
The house is a total loss. The Red Cross and Support 7 are helping the displaced family.
South County Fire crews arrived from the Martha Lake Fire Station less than a block away, but the home was already engulfed in flames. Crews had to fight the fire from outside because it was too dangerous to go inside.
The cause of the fire is under investigation by the Snohomish County Fire Marshal’s Office .
