Redmond IAFF Local 2829

At approximately 0200 hours, your Redmond firefighters responded to the 27000 block of NE Ames Lake Road in unincorporated King County, within Fire District 34, after callers reported an explosion and a large amount of fire.

E114 arrived to find the residence fully involved with a partial structural collapse and immediately upgraded the incident to a second alarm. Crews initiated a defensive fire attack, with limited water supply requiring a water tender response.

The cause of the fire remains under investigation and crews are still on scene as of 1000 hours. We are proud to serve the City of Redmond and District 34.

Thanks to IAFF Local 1762 and Bellevue (WA) Fire Dept for assistance.
