Snoqualmie Fire Department

Thursday, April 28

Car fire: At 9:55 p.m., Snoqualmie firefighters responded to Snoqualmie Parkway at S.E. 96th Street for a report of a vehicle on fire. The vehicle was described as an unoccupied Ford F‐150, with 20‐30 foot flames. The crew reported multiple magnesium flare‐ups from the front of the vehicle throwing sparks 20 feet high. They confirmed that no one was inside the vehicle and used foam to smother the flames. Once the fire was out, they called police and a fire investigator. The vehicle owner said the vehicle caught fire while he was driving it. He had been moving the truck after he noticed a leak, believed to be from some work on the vehicle that a mechanic had done earlier in the day. He said he wanted to move it to a safe place, not leaking fuel in front of his house. As he waited in the truck for his wife to pick him up, he said, he heard a sizzling sound from under the floorboard, and when he opened the door he saw flames under the truck. He exited the vehicle and called 911. The cause of the fire was determined to be mechanical failure secondary to repairs made earlier in the day. The estimated loss from the fire was $3,378.

Possible arson: At 8:44 p.m., the department was called to a fire at a playground structure at Stellar Park. A neighbor had extinguished the fire before the crew arrived but firefighters investigated this and two other fires, all apparently human caused. This fire involved some park doggie cleanup bags, which were set on a plastic horizontal platform and ignited, damaging about one square foot of the play surface. At 9:26 p.m., firefighters were alerted to a trash can fire on Fern Avenue. A traffic cone had been ignited and placed under a fence. The homeowner discovered the fire, removed the burning cone and brought it out to his driveway and extinguished it. He then saw a recycling can in flames across the cul‐de‐sac and called 911. The crew arrived to find the container had been reduced to a 2×2 ground fire, behind the home in an alley. The King county investigator was left at the scene to continue his investigation.
