The Northshore Fire Department conducted a training exercise at the Sequoia Senior Apartments at 7111 NE 181st in Kenmore on Tuesday May 4. The building's alarm system was activated and the residents evacuated.
As they would be in an actual situation, Northshore was joined by other departments, including a ladder truck from Shoreline.
Seniors who were able to evacuate on their own assembled at predetermined locations. Fire fighters assisted the others. Residents regularly practice emergency drills.
Fire hose was pulled off the engines and stretched throughout the building.
