Just got this report from public information officer Ron Garner….
On Sunday morning at 2:11am, a 9-1-1 call to the Sheriff’s Dispatch reported “a structure fire with a person trapped inside” in the 1000 block of Park Street in Friday Harbor, Washington. A patrolling Sheriff’s Deputy, along with the first two firefighters to arrive attempted a rescue but the flames were too intense. There was one fatality. Two other residents managed to escape the burning home.
There were four engines and a Rescue truck at the scene with a staff of 21 firefighters. The first fire engine arrived within six minutes. San Juan EMS, the American Red Cross and OPALCO all assisted during the incident. The fire was completely extinguished shortly before 6 AM. The cause of the fire is under investigation. For more information contact Friday Harbor Town Hall at (360) 378-2810.
