Smoke was seen for miles Thursday as firefighters doused flames at a home in Seattle's Maple Leaf neighborhood.
The fire was caused by spontaneous combustion from oil staining rags and was deeded accidental, fire officials said. The estimated total loss due to the fire, including damage to an adjacent home, is $310,000.
The house is in the 1200 block of Northeast 94th Street. The owners were home when the fire started but escaped without injury.
It's not clear what sparked the blaze.
