Resident hospitalized after escaping Snohomish house fire with burn injuries

In Snohomish, Washington, a resident was hospitalized after escaping a devastating house fire early Saturday morning. The Snohomish Regional Fire & Rescue quickly responded to the blaze on the 2900 block of 152nd Dr NE, following reports of explosions and flames from bystanders. Upon arrival, firefighters discovered the single-story home completely engulfed in flames and began efforts to control the fire. A resident was located in a neighbor's yard, suffering burn injuries, and was promptly treated before being transported to a local hospital. Due to the absence of a nearby fire hydrant, water tenders were dispatched to ensure a sufficient water supply for firefighting operations.

Firefighters managed to significantly reduce the fire within 30 minutes, but extensive overhaul was necessary to extinguish lingering hotspots. A power line was also detached during the firefighting efforts, prompting the Public Utility District to shut off power to the affected line. The Snohomish County Fire Marshal’s Office is currently investigating the cause of the fire.
