Fire crews responded to a residential fire shortly after midnight Wednesday in the 3000 block of Northwest 59th Street in Seattle. When firefighters arrived, they found flames burning in a single-family home. Crews battled the fire from both inside and outside the residence while working to contain the blaze.

The Seattle Fire Department said the home was a one-story structure with a basement. Firefighters completed primary and secondary searches of the residence and confirmed no injuries were reported. After bringing the fire under control, crews checked for flames spreading into other areas of the home and conducted overhaul operations. Firefighters also ventilated the structure before the fire was fully extinguished.

Investigators determined the fire was accidental. According to fire officials, a container holding hot embers likely ignited a pile of wood outside the home. The flames then spread to the exterior of the residence before moving inside.The estimated damage from the fire is $500,000.

Sheriff Mike Clark and Deputy Ortega with the Benton County Sheriff’s Office helped rescue a baby deer along Highway 240 by Columbia Park after it became separated from its mother and sibling near traffic today. Sheriff Clark spotted the fawn while returning from a regional law enforcement meeting.

The sheriff’s office said the animal was stuck on the highway side of a fence while its mother and twin sibling stayed safely on the other side. Clark pulled over to protect the fawn. Deputy Ortega then arrived to help keep the animal from running into the road. The rescue became a group effort when a passerby stopped to help, the sheriff’s office reported.

Using a blanket from the citizen, Clark safely caught the fawn and lifted it over the fence so it could reunite with its family. The Benton County Sheriff’s Office thanked Deputy Ortega and community members Alexandria and Lisa Goforth for helping with the rescue.
