Shoreline Firefighters Make Quick Work of Apartment Fire
The fire department reported that there were no adjacent units burned and no injuries in the blaze at the Pepper Tree Apartments Monday night, Aug. 12
Swift work by Shoreline fire crews kept a blazing apartment fire from spreading to adjacent units, the department reported on Facebook Monday night, Aug. 12.
Fire crews responded to a 911 call around 8 p.m, and found that a third floor unit at the Pepper Tree (199th and Ballinger) was destroyed.
The department said no one was home at the apartment when neighbors saw smoke and heard crackling flames coming from the unit.
No one was injured, and no other residents of the multi-family complex were displaced.
The cause is believed to be accidental but is still under investigation.
