A longtime West End couple awoke at dawn Sunday to flames consuming their bedroom.
Retired Clallam Bay residents David Levin and Corinne Davis escaped unharmed from what appeared to be an electrical fire after fleeing the blaze and calling 9-1-1 at 5:38 a.m. Sunday, Clallam County Fire District No. 5 Fire Chief Trish Hutson said Monday morning.
But the couple's two-story, cedar shake and shingle home at 16743 Hoko-Ozette Road home was a total loss.
It was valued at $6,207, according to the county Assessor's Office.
Hutson said that all Levin and Davis had left from their home was the pajamas they were wearing and their car.
“They are in need of everything,” Hutson said.
She said the couple, whom she said are in their 60s, were staying at a West End hotel Monday morning as they sorted out their future.
“Right now, they are pretty much in shock,” Hutson said.
The fire department is working with the Red Cross, Olympic Community Action Programs and local agencies to obtain assistance for the couple, Hutson said.
“We're just trying to get their basic needs met — medications, that sort of thing.”
