As the first Engine approached the scene they saw a heavy column of smoke and upgraded the call to a confirmed commercial fire which brought additional mutual aid from South County Fire and Snohomish Fire and Rescue.
The first engine responded to the front of the garages while the next engine worked to keep the fire from spreading to the strip mall behind the complex. A row of trees was on fire and threatening the building which houses several businesses.
Firefighters cut many of the garages open to get to the flames and also cut holes in the roof to vent out smoke and heat.
