Multiple agencies help put out rural structure fire
No injuries were reported after crews from four agencies extinguished an unoccupied rural structure fire, officials said.
On Nov. 7 at 9:40 a.m., Mountain View Fire and Rescue crews extinguished a structure fire on 188th Ave in Auburn near Morton Lake and Black Diamond. The unoccupied building posed no injury risk to responders.
Formed in 1953, Mountain View Fire serves unincorporated King County areas including Auburn, Kent, and Enumclaw, plus the City of Black Diamond and the Muckleshoot Indian Tribe. This regional coverage enabled rapid mutual aid coordination.
Several agencies provided "mutual aid assistance" to Mountain View Fire during the response. Puget Sound Fire, Valley Regional Fire Authority, King County Medic One, and a King County Sheriff Office Fire Investigator coordinated the containment effort.
Officials reported no injuries as firefighters successfully contained the blaze by mid-morning. The unoccupied structure prevented potential casualties during the emergency response on 188th Ave.
Mountain View Fire maintains headquarters at 32316 148th Ave to coordinate regional operations across its service area. Residents seeking more information about the department can visit mvfire.org.
