No one was home when a fire started in the Bremerton home. The blaze, investigators believe, was intentionally set. The woman who lives there was out of town at a funeral. Firefighters found flames coming through the roof. And a fire marshal believes the blaze, which started in the kitchen, was arson.

Crews worked to secure a tall section of leaning scaffolding that somehow broke loose from the side of a building under construction in downtown Seattle Monday evening. Seattle Police and Seattle Fire were called to the scene at Howell Street and Minor Ave. just before 5 p.m. The scaffolding could be seen slightly leaning away from the building.

We believe Benton County Fire District 1 does a solid job providing emergency medical service to people living inside the district’s boundaries, but it isn’t as good as it could be. That’s because it lacks its own ambulance service, and has to rely on other districts to fill that gap. Fire Chief Lonnie Click and his crew would like to change that, but it will take additional money.
