Firefighters on Vashon battled heavy flames that engulfed a north-end residence on the afternoon of Friday, Nov. 25.
There were no injuries to firefighters or people in the home, but the home sustained very heavy damage, said Fire Chief Matt Vinci.
According to the home’s owner, Kim Cronin, the fire destroyed all the contents of her house, with nothing remaining salvageable.
Vashon Island Fire & Rescue (VIFR) crews responded to the blaze at 1:47 p.m. on Friday.
Four on-duty responders and one volunteer firefighter, joined by Vinci, arrived on the scene first, in a response that grew to a total of about 15 VIFR members in all.
Paramedics from King County One were also on the scene to help in the initial response, which lasted until after dusk. Crews then returned to the scene later that night and continued their work until about 3:30 a.m., Vinci said.
“It was a very stubborn fire,” he said.
