EVERETT, Wash. — The Everett Fire Department worked to extinguish two house fires in the Valley View neighborhood on East Heather Way Thursday afternoon.
Since there are power lines down and an extensive amount of fire hoses in the roadway on narrow streets, crews asked the public to keep out of the area to allow firefighters to work. EFD also reminded drivers not to drive over fire hoses while trying to travel through the neighborhood.
Snohomish County Public Utility District and Puget Sound Energy responded as well, and Everett police blocked the roadway at Juniper Avenue & East Heather Way.

Just before 2 p.m., EFD shared that the fire was “tapped” and crews were in overhaul, with the cause of the fire under investigation.
They asked neighbors to continue to stay clear of the area while crews continued to clean up.
