While most people were sleeping or getting ready for bed Sunday night, The Yakima Fire Department was trying to put out a house fire.
The fire happened on the 500 block of North 22nd Avenue in Yakima, and firefighters got the call at 10:45 p.m.
"No one was home at the time and they were out," said Jennifer Norton, Yakima Fire Department Shift Commander. "There was a family of eleven living there, both adults and children, and they were all displaced from the fire."
23 firefighters responded to the call, and it took them twenty minutes to put the flame out. Luckily, the fire didn't spread to any other properties, but the home and a detached garage were consumed and resulted in a $120,000 loss.
Although the cause is unknown at this point, investigators believe it's suspicious.
"In this case there was evidence that points to a suspicious fire, so our investigators are working with the police department to try and figure out the cause and any possible suspects," said Norton.
