SILVERDALE – Firefighters rescued two dogs from a burning wood frame tri-plex along Deer Park Lane NW in Silverdale June 23.

Central Kitsap Fire and Rescue received a call about the fire around 6:54 p.m. at a home located in a subdivision in the 12000 block.

As fire crews were en route they were informed that both smoke and flames could be seen coming from the unit and the call was upgraded to a second alarm.

The fire was located on the main floor level in the unit on the south end of the structure. Upon arrival firefighters observed flames coming from a living room window and through the roof. There was no fire or smoke in the daylight basement. There was nobody home at the time, but two dogs were inside.

The fire was extinguished and the building was checked to make sure there was no extension into adjoining units.

The County Fire Marshal was called to investigate the cause.

Red Cross was called to assist the homeowners.

Units from the Bremerton Fire Department, Poulsbo Fire Department, and Navy Region Northwest also responded.

CKFR reminds residents to make sure they have working smoke alarms in their homes as well as set a home fire escape plan. Test alarms monthly and replace its batteries twice a year, or use a ten-year lithium battery.
