VIDEO/PHOTOS: Federal authorities are investigating the cause of a fire at a south King County church overnight. All Saints Lutheran Church, at S 272nd St and Military Road South, is near Star Lake in Auburn. A KOMO News photographer saw investigators with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives at the scene.
A witness told KOMO News they saw fireworks in the area right before the flames broke out. Fireworks have been illegal in unincorporated King County since 2022. It appears an entire wing of the church is a total loss. There is a burned travel trailer and burned trees at the corner of the building.
At one point, the fire became so fierce that firefighters called a second alarm to summon more resources to fight the flames. KOMO News has reached out to South King fire to find out if anyone was hurt and the extent of the damage.
