Two separate residential fires destroyed homes in Parkland on Tuesday morning, one of which displaced a disabled resident. The earlier fire occurred around 12:03 a.m. Tuesday on the 1600 block of 108th Street South. A single-story, four-unit apartment building that had been boarded up caught fire, according the Pierce County Fire Marshal’s office.
No injuries were reported and firefighters did not locate anyone inside the building, but it’s not known whether anyone was inside when the fire started. It was knocked down by about 12:53 a.m., and the cause is under investigation.
The second fire took place around 10:38 a.m. on the 800 block of 119th Street South. A kitchen fire broke out in the home and spread to the rest of the house, alerting a neighbor, who called 911. When crews responded to the scene, they heard yelling from the rear of the house — and upon entry, they found a disabled resident, a woman, in a back room.
Crews were able to help remove the resident from the house and take her to Good Samaritan Hospital for possible smoke inhalation. Firefighters knocked down the fire, but the damage to the house is makes it uninhabitable. The cause of the blaze is under investigation.
