Several cats died in an early morning house fire in Bothell, according to Snohomish Regional Fire and Rescue (SRFR).
Two adults and three children were able to safely evacuate from the home. An elderly adult living in an RV next to the property was able to evacuate with help.
Crews were called to the fire at a manufactured home on the 19700 block of 43rd Avenue Southeast. Several cats were reported to still be inside the home at the time of the fire. Firefighters entered the house and found heavy flames coming up from the floor, spreading to the walls and onto the ceiling.
The nearest fire hydrant was producing high water pressure, but had low volumes of water, forcing firefighters to fight it from outside. The fire was eventually knocked down.
