Bellevue Firefighters Respond to Late Night House Fire

On May 3rd, 2008 Bellevue Firefighters were dispatched to a late night house fire in the Kelsey Creek neighborhood. Engine 6 arriving first on scene reported heavy fire showing from the front side of a two story residential structure. Engine 6's crew launched a 2 1/2" attack on the intense flames, rapidly knocking down the fire in the front. Meanwhile additional crews performed an aggressive search through the home's interior, but fortunately no one was home at the time of the fire. In all two engines, 2 ladder trucks, a medic unit, 2 aid units, and 2 chief officers responded to the blaze. Damage was extensive, particularly in the garage portion of the home, and the cause of the fire is under investigation. No injuries were reported.
