KENT, Wash. — Firefighters extinguished a 2-alarm fire across the street from the Kent Station early Friday morning.
Pat Pawlak, a spokesperson for Puget Sound Fire, said firefighters were called just after 4 a.m. for a fire at a building across the street from the Kent Station parking garage. The fire was on the roof of an old wooden building, Pawlak said.
Officials called for a second alarm, bringing firefighters from many South King County fire departments to battle the fire. The fire was extinguished at about 8 a.m., nearly four hours after the initial call.
Firefighters asked the Sounder tracks to be shut down for firefighter safety in the meantime. As of 8 a.m., the Sounder train is back in service and Smith Street is open.
Pawlak said there were no injuries to firefighters.
