A fire broke out at an elementary school in Kent overnight. Crews were called to Scenic Hill Elementary, at 26025 Woodland Way, at 12:30 a.m. Tuesday. The Kent Regional Fire Authority was called to the scene after police discovered the fire while responding to another alarm at the school. When firefighters arrived, they found smoke coming from a portable that’s about 50 feet from the main building. Firefighters found a small fire inside. High heat caused much of the room's contents to be melted and blackened. Firefighters say it was caused by the electrical failure of a portable carpet dryer.
