Vacant Home Burns in Renton

Renton, WA: A home, possibly in the midst of remodeling, burned early Sunday morning, Sept. 11, in the city of Renton.

Puget Sound Fire Crews were called to a fully involved fire at approximately 2:21 a.m. at a residence on the 1600 block Edmonds Avenue Northeast.

Upon arrival, crews decided to take a defensive stance due how quickly the fire was consuming the structure.

Neighbors stated the home was vacant and possibly had recent remodel work done to it. Records show a remodel permit applied for this year.

The cause of the fire is currently unknown and under investigation.
