Operations
Residential Fire: August 12 North Battalion, with help from mutual aid partners Snohomish Fire District 4, Snohomish Fire District 22, and Granite Falls Fire Department, responded to a residential fire involving a detached garage. Firefighters arrived to find bystanders and the occupant attempting to save vehicles, including a restored Mustang, as fire conditions grew. Crews ensured the occupant’s safety, secured the vehicle, and quickly took command of the incident. Additional units arrived to establish a water supply, protect exposures, provide medical care, and extinguish the fire. One patient with burn injuries was transported to Providence. Thanks to coordinated efforts, the fire was contained to the garage, which sustained significant damage, but the residence and surrounding property were protected. No firefighter injuries were reported, and fire investigators remained on scene following suppression. Great teamwork by all responding crews!
Residential Fire: August 13
Crews from the North Battalion, Snohomish Fire District 4, Snohomish Fire District 22, and Granite Falls Fire Department responded to a residential fire involving a detached shop and two camper trailers. Firefighters arrived to find heavy fire conditions and quickly began defensive efforts, while ensuring there were no occupants inside the trailers. Engines established a water supply with support from tenders, while crews worked to contain the fire, protect nearby trees, and remove potential hazards from the scene. Power lines complicated suppression efforts until PUD secured electricity, after which crews fully extinguished the fire and completed overhaul. One firefighter sustained a minor hand burn and was transported to Providence for evaluation. No civilian injuries were reported. Fire investigators remained on scene. Strong work by everyone involved!
Performance Measures
LAW ENFORCEMENT ASSIST: August 16
North Battalion responded with the Lake Stevens Police Department (LSPD) to a service call requesting assistance with gaining access to a residence. Police officers reported that the scene was secure but locked, and they had visual on a possible deceased victim inside. Firefighters gained entry and located two victims. At that point, LSPD determined the location to be a crime scene and assumed full control. SRFR personnel staged outside while a SRFR crew member provided a witness statement and debriefed with LSPD. Crew members were in ballistic PPE and remained safe. This incident reinforces the importance of strong interagency cooperation.
