Shoreline house fire

Shoreline Firefighters quickly controlled and then extinguished a house fire in the 14800 block of Greenwood Avenue North this morning around 5 am.

An occupant of the home called 911 saying a bedroom was on fire, and that he and his wife were evacuating. An adult son, who normally slept in the bedroom, was not home at the time of the fire.

Firefighters arrived on scene to find smoke coming from the second floor of the home. The fire was controlled and all residents accounted for within minutes.

No one was injured. Shoreline Fire investigators determined the cause of the fire to be a malfunction in the electrical wiring. The family will need to relocate while repairs are made to the home.
