Puget Sound’s Fire Engine 78 was first to arrive and made entry into the homes bathroom where the ceiling fan was on fire. They quickly pulled down the ceilings sheetrock and extinguished a large volume of fire in the attic.
The homes occupants were checked by fire crews and they and their pet dog were okay.
Engine 98 from Mountain View Fire and Rescue also responded to the house fire.
American Red Cross was called and is assisting the family.
At time of press release the fire is still under investigation by a Puget Sound fire investigator.
