Editor’s Update Tuesday 02/15 2:25 PM: Here’s the update put out by Everett Fire.
No one was injured in a residential fire at a West Everett home yesterday afternoon, which caused an estimated $250,000 in damages.
Multiple neighbors reported the fire on Monday at 4:35 p.m. in the 4100 block of Cliff Drive. Callers to 9-1-1 reported seeing flames coming from the home’s roof and windows. Everett Fire Department crews reported seeing a large column of smoke from the intersection of Dogwood Dr and Mukilteo Blvd as they responded to the scene.
The first arriving engine found heavy smoke and fire coming from the first floor of the house and established an offensive strategy to extinguish the fire. The fire was quickly brought under control, preventing it from spreading to neighboring homes. They remained on the scene for several hours extinguishing hot spots.
The cause of the fire is under investigation by the Everett Fire Marshal’s Office.
Heavy smoke surrounds the home.
A fire crew prepares to enter the front of the house.
It was the first fire for some of Everett’s newest firefighters.
Around 4:30 PM Sno911 received several calls of smoke and flame showing from a home on Cliff Drive. Arriving engines noted a smoke column visible from several blocks out.
Firefighters were able to bring the flames down quickly but spent a lot of time putting out hot spots.
At this writing an investigator is at the home working to determine the cause of the fire.
Crews are also still on scene. We’ll bring you more information as it becomes available.
