A pregnant woman and her children were able to escape a house fire early last Tuesday in Moses Lake and were taken to the hospital as a precaution, according to emergency dispatch records. Crews were dispatched around 5:54 a.m. to a reported structure fire in the area of West Pheasant Street. During the incident, the woman—who was approximately seven months pregnant—fell onto her stomach while escaping the home and had smoke exposure to her face and mouth. Her children were also exposed to smoke during the incident.

Emergency responders assisted at the scene, and the woman and her children were transported to Samaritan Hospital for medical evaluation. No further information on their conditions was released. Fire officials said the blaze originated in an area of the home where a phone and phone charger were located, though the official cause of the fire remains undetermined. The residence is approximately 1,500 square feet. A damage estimate was not available at the time of the report.

The incident remains under review, and officials have not released additional details.
