Firefighters extinguished an abandoned home in central Blaine during the early morning of September 21.
North Whatcom Fire and Rescue (NWFR) and Whatcom County District 7, in Ferndale, responded to the home engulfed in flames at the corner of Peace Portal Drive and Fourth Street at 2:53 a.m., NWFR division chief Shaun Ward said. The two-story building was unoccupied and no one was injured, according to NWFR.
Firefighters determined it would be safer to let the building burn and Blaine Public Works Department provided a backhoe to push collapsed materials into a pile.
Most fire units cleared the scene around 5 a.m., except for one that stayed until 12:40 p.m. to monitor hot spots, Ward said.
Whatcom County Fire Marshal’s Office is investigating the fire.
