For the Reporter
Two people are staying with family following a house fire in the 14300 block of Southeast 262 Street on Sunday evening.
The fire was first reported by a neighbor at 7:36 p.m. When firefighters from the Kent Fire Department Regional Fire Authority arrived, they found the attached garage of the single-story home fully on fire.
Fire also reached into the attic space, which allowed it to spread to other portions of the residence.
It took firefighters approximately 45 minutes to extinguish the fire.
The two residents were able to get out safely. One was treated by King County paramedics but did not require transportation to the hospital.
A Kent Fire Investigator is working to determine the cause of the fire.
