Puget Sound firefighters responded to a house fire along the 16600 block of Military Road South in SeaTac this afternoon.
The fire sent a dark plume of smoke into the air just after lunchtime. This stubborn fire required a mutual aid response from multiple fire agencies including Tukwila Fire Department,
Port of Seattle and South King Fire and Rescue.
Firefighters arrived and found a large amount of smoke and fire coming from a single-story vacant house. Firefighters extinguished the fire in approximately 40 minutes.
King County Medic One also responded and provided rehab and medical support for the fire crews. Fortunately, there were no injuries to firefighters. After the fire was extinguished,
Puget Sound Fire worked with the homeowner and contacted a board up company to secure the structure.
The cause of the fire is under investigation.
