Kirkland and Bothell firefighters battled a large fire at a three-story apartment building in the Finn Hill neighborhood over the weekend that left eight people displaced. No one in the building or any of the emergency personnel were reported injured in connection with the incident.

The fire crews arrived at around 11:15 a.m. on Jan. 2 to find a flames and smoke coming from a unit on the second story.

Fire Battalion Chief Kenneth Henderson said the fire was contained to one of six units. Some of the surrounding units suffered smoke damage.

Henderson said the person who lived in the unit was not home at the time of the fire.

In total, six families were displaced. The cause of the fire is currently under investigation by fire investigators. When the initial investigation prevented the families from returning to their homes until the next morning, the owner of the building paid for them to stay in a hotel for the night, according to KFD.

Among the respondents were four fire engines, two ladders, two fire battalions and an air unit. It took approximately half an hour for them to put out the flames.

One of the ladders involved, Ladder 27, responded to eight working fires in four days, according to the Kirkland Firefighters IAFF Local 2545.
