Police and fire agencies in the Snoqualmie Valley responded to the following calls:
Snoqualmie Fire Dept.
Wednesday, Jan. 25
Gas odor: At 6:28 a.m., Snoqualmie firefighters responded with Eastside Fire & Rescue to a report of a strong odor of natural gas in the 8100 block of Falls Avenue. The caller was advised to evacuate and wait for the fire department to arrive. The crew arrived and investigated the building starting at the street and working from the outside in to find the problem. They checked the meter to be sure gas wasn’t currently flowing. Inside the building, the only thing that used gas was the stove, the caller said. Firefighters noticed a strong odor but the gas meter did not indicate any problems. They turned off the gas to the stove and shortly after that, the odor began to dissipate. They advised the caller to have the stove repaired, then assisted with ventilating the building.
Alarm: At 5:11 p.m., Snoqualmie firefighters were dispatched to Echo Glen Children’s Center for an automatic fire alarm. Security staff directed them to the building that was the source of the alarm. Staff there said they’d turned on a heater and the alarm sounded, although there was no smoke or fire. Firefighters reset the alarm.
Medical aid: In addition, Snoqualmie EMTs responded to 15 medical aid incidents, bringing the total number of calls to date to 80.
