Three children – ages 15, 11 and 6 – safely escaped after a fire broke out in the kitchen of their Edmonds home this afternoon.
Dispatchers received multiple 911 calls around 4:40 p.m. reporting smoke coming from the two-story home in the 20500 block of 80th Avenue West. “Flames were visible in the kitchen and smoke was coming from the eaves when the first firefighters arrived,” said Leslie Hynes, public information officer for Snohomish County Fire District 1, which provides fire and emergency medical services in the City of Edmonds.
