The department reported the first crews on scene found heavy fire in an outbuilding and saw it had spread to the main house. Firefighters knocked down flames that had reached the attic and one bedroom.

The fire was under control at 11:15 a.m. Crews then spent another hour and a half overhauling the home. People were home when the fire started. No injuries were reported. The cause remained under investigation. The Naches Fire & Rescue, Selah Fire Department, Yakima Fire Department, Yakima Training Center, East Valley Fire & Rescue, AMR ambulance and the Yakima Sheriff’s Department were among the many crews that helped out at the scene.

Firefighters say there were no working smoke detectors inside the home and crews have since installed a working detector inside. “We urge everyone to ensure there is a working smoke alarm in every living space of your home,” the agency posted on Facebook. The Red Cross is also assisting the residents in addition to the Fire 7 Foundation, the post said.
